Good benefits good people nice work life balance

Cons

Junk equipment. No progression plan. Feel like your not going to move up here just going to stay at the spot that you were hired for. If you ask for a tool or something that you need so you can get the job done more efficiently it can take 3 years to get it atheist that's my experience.
