Pros

Great work colleagues, who are more than willing to pull together.

Cons

Entropic management systems, upward feedback is neither encouraged, asked for, or listened to. Communication, management issue decrees and do not foster an inclusive team. Archaic processes and procedures. No communication of expectations, appraisal process is a joke. No training plans, no encouragement to advance knowledge. Ideas plagiarised by management for their own advancement. The organisation is not mature enough to realise, that the 'quiet teams' are more productive, than the teams that are shouting and 'fire fighting' problems of their own making (lean six sigma).

Pros

Some amazingly talented people (or there were before they outsourced to Hungary and India), I have met and worked with a diverse and friendly bunch of very talented people during my time with Systemax.

Cons

Some amazingly incompetent or maybe just stubborn management that will follow through with a plan even when its clear to everyone around them and in some cases even themselves that its just a bad idea.
