Pros

Generally a progressive company and willing to transact on a variety of deals. Additionally willing to make investments in assets for future business.

Cons

Current management does not seem to value human assets at an acceptable level. This view toward employees creates a sense "humans are commodities" and makes it a difficult place to want to come back to day after day.
