Pros

Salary is good, and medical is slighlty below market.

Cons

No work life balance. Leadership is a close, personal network of friends outside of work. Not skill based. High turn over. Executive leadership is ignoring the source at the top 2 VP's. One not engaged in the business, and the other trying the learn without the education and experience. Nothing worse than seeing VP reading the basics on front line leadership and trying tactics on you...
