Pros

Decent benifits, plenty of activities and parties, friendly and knowlegable staff.

Cons

Increasing business means more work for current staff. Can be overworked at times. Pay is average for the area. Good people seem to be leaving for higher laying jobs in the area.

Pros

I loved working with the people. Leadership meant well, corporate had some work to do and was tough on the site, but we were a good team. We got the job done.

Cons

Pay issues, a lot of changes very quickly. Not managed well. Grew too fast to make improvements as needed. Employees suffered.
