Pros

Decent PTO. Pay was once competitive but has slipped off especially in MA where the economy is solid. Some flexibility in work schedule but even that is being restricted

Cons

Upper management is awful. Out of of touch, arrogant, uninformed, and pennywise/pound foolish. They get something set in their minds and act on it, such as acquisitions that have been a disaster, yet the responsible parties get promotions. Execs clearly paid on margin and cost savings and not on revenue growth. Employees are generally miserable. No leadership, only micro managing. VP's spend all of their time on blaming employees and analyzing numbers.

Pros

Used to be a wonderful place to work before being bought out.

Cons

There is no feeling of teamwork anymore. Management could be quite nasty and favoritism ran high. New manager seemed to like running things like it was a third world country.
