Pros
People almost never get fired even for blatant incompetence Sense of stability because it always feels short-staffed
Cons
Overall morale is through the floor, and managers seem to respond to it by micro-managing and criticizing, treating with a sense of suspicion. Pay around 50% of market range for comparable jobs. Largely dead-end positions with no real avenue for growth. There are vague, empty promises given, hints that "in a few months something may open up". Total lack of transparency from leadership to the rest of the staff Systemic communication breakdown where leadership "solves" problems that they perceive without consulting with the various departments who understand the problem, exacerbating existing issues and damaging team morale.
