Cons

-Slow moving to get a promotion even with significant increase in job responsibilities. -The real upper management is in Akron, if you want to be a Director it's awfully hard if your in a satellite office. -Dates, Schedules, Work Hours are always in flux for the good and the bad. -Lots of moving parts and it's easy to get lost in the system.
