Pros

-Integrity-One of the 1st things that stood out to me about in my 1st interview was the integrity I felt my manager had as a employer. Then when I started I saw that same integrity in my peers. -Work ethic- I love how this company respects the work they do and values the roles of others. I love how workplace is used to cultivate company synergy and provide best practices, recognition and I feel it really united people at UR from all over. - Genuine care for employees. I feel there is genuine care from the leadership of this company and that they value their employees and want them to grow and develop. I see a lot of compassion and concern to develop people.

Cons

- I get bored easily, so at times when work is slow I don't feel much is provided to keep me occupied. I realized different branches have different level of activity at times but I feel during down times different projects, trainings or developmental work can be provided so we can constantly use our time at work to be productive and stay sharp. -Technology- I feel as a company we are somewhat outdated in our technology. Computer systems are slow and computer software is older. I feel we can move QUICKER and be top notch if we upgrade our technology! -Not as appealing to the Millennial generation. I am a Millennial and I notice the culture of the company Is a bit more inviting to the older generation which is GREAT! bc its our foundation, however as a millennial there are certain things in the culture I feel could be altered or adjusted to invite and engage that generation for long term loyalty and contribution.
