Pros

Great benefits, they do encourage career growth and community involvement. They also offer wellness facilities on cite and promote the use of that.

Cons

Culture has definitely changed since going public. I understand we need to be accountable to share holders now but we also need to be accountable to our customers (customers are still #1) and it seems like we are sacrificing customer service at times to cut corners.
