Pros

The compensation and health benefits are average but need to make a genuine effort to improve the work/life initiatives.

Cons

Management style is poor due to to their coercive and authoritative style which creates a poor work climate. Too much emphasis on micromanaging at all levels not allowing employees the flexibility to be innovative, autonomous and responsible.
