Pros

Good pay and work benefits.

Cons

Leadership advancement is driven more by popularity than demonstrated competence. As a result, employees are often placed into leadership roles without the experience needed to succeed, contributing to high turnover and limited job stability.

Pros

Worked there for over 7 years and planned on retiring with the company. Exceeded goals each and every year.

Cons

Position was eliminated, they offered a decent severance package, but somehow managed to make multiple errors, which resulted in delayed severance payments and COBRA coverage being canceled prior to the end of the severance period.
