Pros

Competitive salary for the market, good benefits package including 401k match and healthcare. Willing to pay for additional schooling if manager approves.

Cons

One executive level manager over many years has created a very tense environment between the different departments at the company. Trying to accomplish an inter department project is nearly impossible because of this poor environment. Many of the employees there are very nice, but as the saying goes a few bad apples can spoil the bunch. Also hours are extremely long and are not appreciated by upper management. Many employees are not held accountable tor completing there job.
