Business Outlook

Pros

I work in the Finance & Administration Division. New President is a breath of fresh air, shaking things up, but sometimes has unrealistic expectations. The company has created some amazing technology and solutions. New updates in building are great! The benefits are top notch!

Cons

The CFO is an ice queen and her management style is intimidation. HR is a mess. Change is slow among employees that have been there a long time.
