      Pros

      Room to take on a lot of responsibility. Many people who truly want to help you succeed. Great perks, they really take care of their people.

      Cons

      A 10/11 hour day could be accomplished in 7 hours if there wasn't so much work that didn't matter to those outside the company, so much busy work it can be taxing. Can be tough to just do your work without constant probing, which at times feels forced since it's part of the culture to question others all the time. Seasoned workers have a tough time adjusting to this new way of being.

      One of the most challenging and rewarding places I've ever worked at

      Pros

      This company is driven by and holds all accountable to a way of operating based on truth, integrity, and partnership. Committed to continuous improvement open, honest and thoughtful collaboration is not only encouraged but expected. One always know where they stand. All are encouraged to and given the means to, question processes where a "better way" might exist. This openness to objectively challenging the status quo breeds a sense of partnership and mutual respect. When approached with an open mind one cannot help but come away with stronger relationships and a sense of being apart of something.

      Cons

      This environment can be very challenging starting out, and it takes one time to adjust. The bad news is for those who are prone to take criticism personally and to react defensively must be prepared to "learn" and adapt. The good news you are given the time and the coaching to do so.
