Pros
Pay scale was reasonable. Located close to public transportation. Bethesda, MD. is a nice city to work in.
Kontras
Lack of trust between senior management and employees. Micromanagement from CEO. Favoritism. Fearful work atmosphere. Ideas are rarely shared or heard. When I worked there, every employee except VPs and higher, had to punch a time clock, and there were no "safety zones" in terms of time. If you arrived 10 minutes late, you had to work 10 minutes late that day, or you'd be deducted time - in half-hour increments by the way - from either your vacation or sick leave. It made everyone stressed. As management, I was not encourage to share my ideas or think creatively. Disagreements between management, line employees and the CEO resulted in chastisement and derision. It was an unhealthy work atmosphere all around.
