Pros

Great people - they work hard but also know how to have a good time. The leadership team really invests in it's people and shows their support by acknowledging hard work, promoting from within and sending us work from home gifts every couple of months!

Cons

Working from home has it's challenges for everyone so not necessarily their fault but some managers could do a better job with training and outlining necessary information on how to be successful.
