Pros

Competitive salary, nice campus with fun amenity perks such as Starbucks, Fitness Center and cafeteria. Outside of management, most everyone promotes an environment that takes pride in being honest, loyal, a team player, ethical and employee who makes quality decisions.

Cons

The culture is demoralizing. The departmental/direct leadership can be unkind, disrespectful and mendacious. It seems the executive leadership team does not realize or possibly care how low morale has gotten. Management does not show equal opportunity for career development. There are always rumors of layoffs looming.
