Pros

salary and benefits are ok

Cons

Poor management skills, need to work much harder than should. They seem to forget their employees have families and they are #1 priority. It used to be a good company that appreciated their employees but since an investment company came in all they see you as are dollar bills

Great Company for hard workers

Pros

Outperforming individuals are rewarded well; ability to reach out to anyone regardless of title

Cons

Management is not the best with communication and passing down opportunities to lower level individuals; work mostly depends on CAT events so the lack thereof could result in job uncertainties; still working on integration of different fields following M&A activities
