Pros

Great company to break into the work place. It is a great place to be if you want to stay at manager or sr manager level and enjoy a work life balance. Time off is respected.

Cons

If you want to advance to senior management, this is not the place to be.Opportunities are limited beyond manager/sr manager level and promotions are very rare. Stress is growing for employees as the company focuses more on Global aspect and longer hours are needed to work with international partners.
