Pros
The co-workers are nice and stick together to make it a decent environement
Cons
The majority of Middle Mgt in Marketing and Vendor Mgt are incompetent and if they have been their 10+ years, they are all cronies .They determine who they like and who will get promoted. Performance does not matter. Its popularity and if they do not like you they will find a way to get rid of you. If you question them or a policy they will find a way to write you up. Everyone knows it so morale is very morale, everyone is afraid to speak up or ask a question. Meetings are silent. The staff knows the old cronies don't really know anything or want to change anything. New ideas are not welcomed and innovation is non-existent . Middle Mgt consider themselves the untouchable "leadership" group and make the decisions, they seek no input from staff and don't care what you have to say. They have created a culture of fear and hopelessness. You will learn nothing to help your career, their is no advancement unless you start at the bottom. It is a complete waste of time.
