Pros

Challenging organization to learn and grow in where you may be rewarded for focused and diligent efforts. This company is evolving into the digital world to continue growing and changing as the market changes.

Cons

Like any organization of this size, politics plays a role. Not an extreme amount of favoritism, however it does occur.

Business Outlook

Pros

Close to home and I was able to negotiate a good salary with my experience.

Cons

Old line, top down management style. "Put your head down, don't complain and do your job, and you'll do fine," I was told by a peer. A culture of fear. Lots of turnover hitting the bottom line.
