OK firm

Staff specialist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They are family friendly and have very good benefits.

Cons

DC location needs some help. They lost several key members of management and continue to lose staff. The leaders are not thinking about the staff and are out of touch. They are not a forward thinking management team. They are stuck in the 1900's and need to think about mobility and remote work moving forward.
