Pros

Location is good, sometimes time off when overtime for a lot of weeks, the office space is nice and roomy

Cons

Management isn't too good about decisions, some of them aren't that smart about employees or the work itself

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
