Pros

Needing a major overhaul meetings and gossiping. There are plenty of early warning signs for business failure - team conflict, poor quality products, poor customer service, system failures in administration or finance - all of which feature heavily in negative gossip and backstabbing before the eventual disaster strikes. Gossip & Backstabbing is Easy and meetings that are wasteful after 30 mins. Bad meetings are one of those things in life that we could really have less of. You know the ones where nobody is prepared or there’s no strong purpose that is driving the meeting? At the end, you leave the meeting feeling like it was a waste of time. Unhealthy use of socializing in the office setting is about pecking order behavior, cliques and favoritism

Cons

Being the leader doesn’t mean being bossy. Becoming the leader doesn’t mean telling everyone in meetings what to do, sometimes that has to be done. However, to become a great leader you have to lead by example. So why are so many bosses bossy? Typically it’s because their authoritative fashion has failed and they feel they have to be more prepared, even aggressive, to get what they want by having employees stay over 9 hours. What they don’t recognize is that when people don’t fully grasp, they’ll do something their own way and generate their own deadlines and priorities. However, this can makes a boss feel even more out of management, and this usually will not help the structure of the work environment that is why employees make errors in planning and forecasting.

Pros

Great teams, coworkers, some flexibility although that seems to be changing.

Cons

Health insurance is fair at best, decent salaries, upper management says the right things, but doesn’t necessarily follow through. Leadership tends to look the same (male, older, old school).
