Pros

Decent pay - good medical/dental benefits (for as long as they keep them anyway). Good 401K.

Cons

Very Columbus-centric - they do not like employees in the field to make decisions. I was told on multiple occasions that I was not to do anything without prior clearance of someone in 1RP (company HQ).
