Pros

The benefits, people, and flexibility are second to none. This truly is a wonderful place to work, especially for a very family-oriented, work/life balance kind of person.

Cons

It can be tough to advance within the company. There are over 9,000 employees in Des Moines making it a political process for advancement.
