Pros

Good pay and benefits Opportunity to advance Enjoy coworker camaraderie Challenging and interesting Never a boring day Great place to learn new skills

Cons

Poor communication between departments. Many employees have been there for a long time and are not proactive and have trouble thinking outside the box. New management is very aggressive, but need to build out infrastructure more to accomplish goals.
