Great Flex schedule, autonomy with assignments, great benefits, HR has a representative who helps employees deal with supervisors and ensure everyone is being fair.

Pay could be higher with my Masters, current supervisor is very slow with decisions putting her staff behind and the Director does nothing about it.
