Pros

Most of the day to day folks are great, they are good people trying to do the right thing. They do good things for the community.

Cons

We are so top heavy in management makes decision making incredibly difficult and cumbersome. Our systems and technology are more of a hindrance than an asset. Senior level management is out of touch with what's really going on, or unwilling to address it. Very little opportunity for growth or promotion.
