Pros

Salary. There is nothing else that was good about this place. Watch your back. New people are not included here or accepted.

Cons

Watch your back. There is a deep seated clique entrenched here. They try to run off all the new people. By far the strangest people and place I have ever worked at.

Pros

Most aspects of the company are amazing. Good pay, great healthcare and 401k, pretty good upward mobility. Senior management seems to genuinely care about employees.

Cons

Productivity and morale within the GIS department are at an all time low. Opportunities are given based on personal preference instead of merit. Successes are rarely recognized, and communication is inappropriate.
