A Great Place to Work

Pros

I just went from full time to part time to meet family demands. My manager, director, VP and HR were amazingly accommodating to my change in family responsibilities. I did not want to retire full time, and they made it possible for me to stay on with a team and a company that I enjoy working with.

Cons

Wherever you work, you'll find people who have a great experience and those that don't. Finding the sweet spot in people management challenges every organization. Organization-wide, communication and transparency could be improved. Management acknowledges this and is working on it.
