We, also, recognize the importance of mentorship and support, especially for those who are students or early in their careers. We will keep this feedback top of mind, as we continue to invest in new training programs to enhance our engagement with student employees to provide a more hands-on and supportive experience.

Pros

Great folks and focused on the office success, regardless of how big the company is. Great ways to move up in the company, they are very open to promoting within. There are a lot of good managers there who want to mentor their direct reports to success.

Cons

Higher management is a little out of touch, but nothing I would be concerned about. It's a large company so it's to be expected.
