Pros

Leadership really cares about you, the environment you work in and your success on and off the clock. It’s an employee owned company so it really drives you to do your best because when you do, you will get rewarded exponentially! The bonuses come every month based on performance. I cant say enough great things about this company. Just bummed I didn't find it sooner.

Cons

Honestly, my biggest complaint is how hard they make it to complain.

Pros

The company treats you great. Fun activities, great cafeteria food at next to no cost, friendly and social environment. No politics, just people who want to get their work done. Was a great place to build my career. The CEO John Graham is also an incredibly personable figure. Very down to Earth.

Cons

Compensation isn't groundbreaking, but it is competitive.
