      Pros

      1. Good people trying to do the right thing. 2. Benefits were pretty good. 3. Business decisions did not cascade down

      Cons

      Salaried team is understaffed and no development and or growth offered. Very political and good people get frustrated by antiquated policies. No incentive to "change" and the culture is mired in the past.
