Pros

TA is a progressive company that help employees achieve the performance goals set by both the employee and the employer together. Work teams are put together from several geographic locations. Sucesses come in small enough pieces that keep the morale high on the team.

Cons

TA has been fortunate enough to acquire several smaller companies. That has proven to be a dilemma for me. I have worked several years to consolidate computer systems. Now we are eliminating the staff that support multiple systems and are consolidating locations. I am looking for something new.
