Pros

Wonderful benefits package, good people, flexible hours, extra perks with time off and bonus package, competitive salary.

Cons

The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Seems they are constantly recruiting high end talents to have them leave after a year. Processes seem to be constantly broken.

Pros

Good pay, 401K, vacation, and bonuses. Nice coworkers.

Cons

Constantly shifting people around, bad paperwork, and looking to blame employees for the confusion they are creating. I have never seen this behavior by supervision at a place of employment.

Pros

- Great retirement plan. - Great healthcare plan with a low cost to employees. - Great pay for the work you're asked to do. - Cafe makes great omelets on Wed. and Fri. - Employees are generally friendly.

Cons

- Older employee company; mostly 45 and older. - They worship the time clock. There's a clock on every wall and in the patio areas...yeah that surprised me too. - The scope of work is very narrow. They expect you to do only one or two things and don't like you to branch out to other tasks. - The leaders tend to defer to the opinions of employees who have been there the longest and don't trust newer employee opinions. - Leadership tends to choose department heads based on longevity over skill competency.
