      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits, flexible, personally a good manager, loved my coworkers, loved having a job with benefits where I could research

      Cons

      Lack of commission for research managers, still a for profit industry that prioritizes profits, frequent changes of processes, lack of genealogists in upper management for the research division, some teams don't want to take the time to train up assistants to advance them
