Pros

The people in day to day operations are wonderful to deal with. The pay and benefits were competitive for the market and mainly inline with what you will find.

Cons

Accounting and technology systems are a disaster. The absolute worst i have seen in my professional career. The new systems they are onboarding need a lot of work, and are very labor intensive. They do not have any KPI for new system, so they have no idea how much staffing they require and are usually grossly understaffed.

Pros

The people you work with are nice people. My boss was a really good person to work for. Job itself isn't terrible.

Cons

Lack of training. Lack of updated equipment. Upper management has no clue what they're doing and it trickles down throughout. Pay tops out at 17hr
