      Pros

      -Some of the nicest folks I have ever worked with -Great work/life balance

      Cons

      Leadership does not care about its employees and use the fear of layoffs to keep employees working hard. Diversity and inclusion is also a huge issue. Morale is low after so many layoffs (even when the company is doing well).

      Pros

      If you love genealogy, this is a good place for you.

      Cons

      Growth opportunities are few and far between. Management "listens" but does not take action. You don't get the support you need to do your job well. You are expected to juggle multiple jobs and positions without being able to hire who you need and have the resources to do your job effectively.
