Pros

They treat their employee's well. The salaried positions seem to have it better, the hourly is getting better. Great benefits, gym reimbursements, wellness program, LOTS of PTO and holiday pay.

Cons

I worked in a department where there wasn't much room for growth, hence finding employment elsewhere. I was also about to cap out on my pay increase, could have applied within a different department, but chose to look elsewhere for other reasons not pertaining to the company.
