Pros

Hightower has come a long way and really has done a great job at putting in place standard process and procedures. Hightower has done a rebranding with their internal culture and continues to make big strides everyday. I know are some negative reviews on here, but those are about people that have left the organization.

Cons

Continue to make updates to policies and procedures- there will be some growing pains, but it will work out in the long run
