Pros

The company regularly promotes from within and just went through a wave of it.

Cons

Work life balance is not really a thing. That didn't bother me, but it can get to others for sure.

Pros

They pay well. They do give raises, but in some cases, just not the raise they tell you that you will get. For me in particular, I was told that the math was done incorrectly on the amount given to me and I would actually be receiving cents less. When I asked if I could just receive the raise I was told I would be receiving I was met with "Its not in the budget."

Cons

Birge and Held offsite management will play favorites within the company and some policies only pertain to certain people and not others. Birge and Held does not allow employees who they think will give them a poor exit interview the opportunity to partake in an exit interview at all.
