Pros

Field level and long time employees are mostly great, pay and benefits are good, interesting work in some respects

Cons

No respect from management, no decision making abilities, employees consistently left in the dark, the almighty dollar is the primary driver for everything, no paths for advancement, changes occur weekly with improper dissemination, secret keeping, management, management, management. Please look at the reviews of people at corporate vs. people at facilities and you will get an idea of the story
