Pros

Good insurance and time off

Cons

Oh there are so many. This company has went downhill in the last few years. Some of us older employees are just getting to retirement to get out. Others should jump ship. Every time you think there will be improvements, the higher ups will decide that the employees are getting too much and we must take something away. Loyalty is not something here, it’s who is kissing up the hardest. I have seen this tendency to just fire people who are not following along with the kissing up mantra. I see a lot of fake accounts that are trying to up the stars on here. That is sad a company has to use those tactics. Maybe make changes then to make fake posts.
