Pros

Avalon is decent company. They are always working on improving processes and rolling out new customer service programs, etc.There is room for growth and transfer opportunities as the company is large and has properties in markets. Most paid holidays of any company I've worked for. Quarterly meetings and summer picnics with the rest of the day off are also a nice incentive.

Cons

Pay is low. If you're offered a job, negotiate your salary because it's not going up much from there once employed. I have also seen great employees be pushed out of the company by upper management. Which makes me wonder if I'm actually valued.

Pros

You'll find a few, like the annual summer picnics that have gotten less and less enjoyable over the years. Be careful of yours peers because they will help you get fired to make them selves look better.....

Cons

Too Many To List.... Reduced Pay to list one drawback. Definately can make more money with other companies in the same industry with same hours.
