Pros

It used to be the best place in the world to work. Great people, great pay, great direct managers and great benefits.

Cons

The company moved to Nashville and all of those great things went out the window. Now a terrible company to work for. Dictatorial managers, half the pay, draconian management methods, terrible morale.
