Vantaggi
- Hours are really flexible. I know many people who rarely even show up to the office and simply work from home. - Management is almost clueless on what is good or bad. This, therefore very little work seems like plenty. This reinforces the ability to have a flexible schedule. - Work life balance, education support - $/Amount of work per week ratio is very high. Yes, companies like Apple and Google pay much higher wages, but the said ratio is much lower ( i.e. You work more for the same wage)
Svantaggi
- No bonus for the everyday worker. Management and select few receive bonuses and stock, but if you don't kiss enough a s s then don't expect anything - Average age is 55-65. Almost everyone I know is retiring within the next 2-5 years. LM can only hire mediocre students because anyone who is worth anything will just work for Google or Apple. - If you're not within certain circles, good luck on advancing. To be within these circles, you must be old, white, or a woman, and use buzzwords like "operational excellence" and "cost savings". - management is very clueless. While it is a pro above, it is also a con since it is very difficult for management to bring in new and exciting work. Many more cons, but I'm sure I will be repeating what others have described in their reviews.
