Pros

Strong culture, Team Oriented, Customer Focus This company packs a punch (in a good way) with its culture! It takes everything seriously and aligns it to the established values. The best part is the values aren't just word on a wall, they are apart of all decisions that are made and people that are brought in! This shows especially now as the world is learning how to deal with a pandemic!

Cons

Heavy on the VP and above leadership
