Barring the layoffs, everything listed as a "Pro" could also be taken as a "Con" at TU. However, there are also the following:
Sure, you can retire from there, but you'll be doing the same position that you started at when you do. Little opportunity to advance and once you have, little or no chance to move beyond middle management without being in the "preferred" group.
No visible or communicated plan for company growth other than by acquisition, despite having a high-level of talent employed by the organization.
Expenses cut to the bone and little improvement at the "little guy" level.
Senior management is often not satisfied with honest answers or timelines for the *mountain* of work necessary to make *real* quantifiable improvements and are well known for making unreasonable demands of both employees time and schedule.
Middle management (below VP) can be generally be divided between those interested in improvement of employee, team, and company performance and those with a veiled political agenda benefiting themselves or an axe to grind.
Complex and difficult production environment makes many processes painfully complex, including those that should be simple business-as-usual changes.
