Pros

From my experience: My management had a pretty clear expectations on what the work load was on a day to day basis. -Transparency (for the most part) -Competitive Pay -Flexible work Schedules -Understanding Leadership -They treated you with dignity and respect

Cons

-Lacking in culture and unity -19th century layout and work structure (cubicles and closed office doors) -Health Insurance is terrible -Over pressured and unrealistic expectations from leadership -0 Mentor ship programs -0 Young people will want to work here and why should they? All these things create a small -Unrealistic expectations on balancing a work/life balance which is hard to meet with demands that are constantly changing.

Pros

You will get a paycheck

Cons

Upper management has been promoted but not on merit so they struggle to understand how to lead. The CEO is out of touch and does not truly care about the people at all. The best people are leaving one after the other. Although customer service is key, management cares as little for their customers as they do their own people. No advancement opportunity. They put you in a role and forget about you. If you don't like it, they will show you the door.
