Too many Chiefs

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, but they are slowing getting worse as the years go on

Cons

Click-ish Management only promotes friends. If you aren't in the "fraternity" you are ignored and bypassed for promotions. The longer you work here the worse they treat you. Take more away than they give. Working through the pandemic, they only gave us one can of soda, and an extra "one day off" for the 3 years we were "essential workers"

Pros

Co-workers, Cab facility, Lunch facility

Cons

Zero job security, top VP will make the so called "difficult decisions" of laying off people very easily. layoffs are regardless to performance. Top VP was not able to improve revenue so he decided to cut cost by laying off people.
