Pros

I like the people still here

Cons

Systems are awful, and now we have to drive in 50% of the month while insurance has gotten worse and gone up, no catered lunches, no more snacks or free drinks, took away coffee bar. Now days in office are mandatory, days are not flexible. Just downhill since Cetera took over.
