Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent benefits The charitable work they encourage for employee is fantastic Very good pay (not phenomenal but definitely above average) Kind people with little micro-management

Cons

There's a culture of only a few people doing the majority of the work and many people doing very little. Consistent bonuses/increases are always nice, but it incentivizes the below average performers to continue to be below average. A fair amount of politics are at play where a person will go farther putting effort with the boys club and playing golf than actually working.
