Pros

great employees and environment on the staff level

Cons

incompetent leadership, just do some research; they failed their last audit due to that/negative review. leadership is more worried about watching their own back and their own job security than getting the job done. If you are overqualified this is Not the place for you PLUS dont even think about getting your foot in the door to move up...they DO Not hire internally. And Pay! They used to be at least competitive; these new people in HR are cutting salaries left and right. As well NEVER go to HR with issues or problems; they will ensure you will be laid off or the first one out when the time approaches... HR is very LAZY un-proactive, always spinning the blame back on the employee. THIS IS A TYPICAL ORANGE COUNTY BUSINESS WHERE EVERYONE IS ON THE TAKE; MUST PLAY THE CORPORATE GAME OR YOUR TIME WILL BE LIMITED

Pros

Benefits were ok. Some very nice people work there (non management).

Cons

HR does not care what your concers are. They are more concerned that you might sue them that correcting the issues with manangement. No chance for advancement. Not a pleasant place to work.Lower manangement relies on others to do their job. Managers talk negitive about their staff.
