Pros

Employees are very nice. and they try hard under impossible conditions.

Cons

Company is loosing money and has been loosing money for a long time. As a result corners are being cut. People leave and they are not replaced. Which means that everyone else has to work harder. But when people are stretched they can only do so much. So the quality of the product suffers and the company looses more money. So more is demanded from the employees and more leave. Those that are left behind are told to perform miracles. Also, managers are micro-managed from 12 time zones away. And they are given conflicting orders that don't make sense. So as an accounting manager I was told to bring the Accounts Receivables past-dues from our clients current. But you are not allowed to put any on credit hold unless you get approval from Senior Managers. They don't respond to your questions so things get worst. I remember something from a management science class in business school where a case study was given of an employee being put in a similar impossible situation. Its as if someone is standing over you with a baseball bat and says, "If you move, I will hit you. And if you don't move, I will hit you".
