Pros

Company has huge growth potential in the marketplace. People are still engaged in trying to make a difference and do the right thing.

Cons

The culture was very good when I first started. People had a purpose and company had vision and goals. Constant growth has caused the the company to become too large and poltical. Nothing gets done well.

Pros

relaxed work atmosphere, good people, great volunteering and community culture

Cons

A lot of silos. Everybody is working in their own group, sharing of objectives or projects is rare, which leads to a lot of miscommunication and duplicating work. Career advancement and promotions are not good at all. They will promote you only after the managers above you get promoted. In addition, some directors and managers have favorites and they treat them much favorably than the rest of their subordinates. Not everything is fair, there is a lot of politics and making sure you say the most convenient and not always the right thing.
