      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are ok, for the eastern shore pay is above average,I really wish I had more positive to say on behalf of the company

      Cons

      Very unappreciative site management, continual expectation to do more with less, people, equipment, even basic tools and supplies. Excessive work schedule due to severe under staff conditions. No chance for advancement no matter how hard you work or schooling you complete. School very difficult due to 55-65 hour work weeks.

      Pros

      Flexibility of work hours, decent benefits, peer support and collaboration.

      Cons

      No stock employee purchase plan, no stock options until Director level, mediocre salary & merit raises, lots of lip service to behavior changes, yet little reality, low opportunity for growth (the legacy ol' boys club ain't going anywhere),
