The technology is a little bit behind, but there are improvements made on a regular basis. The community budgets are very strict and can impact customers.

Pros

Great company that treats their employees well and makes you feel valued. They have a lot of events for employees and training's that elevate your value. They understand that they need to provide you with the support and tools in order to excel in your job. You also have a seat at the table - They truly believe in collaboration and that means that they actually listen to employee thoughts, comments, ideas and they make changes and adjustments accordingly.

Cons

Two words - Lotus Notes is the emailing system. Its hard to regress back to an old form of technology BUT they heard the employees and are changing out the system at the end of 2015.
