Pros

The teams are professional, people always have a smile and a friendly word. As a parent, I find myself fortuante to be working with leader who take this into consideration and without fuzz let me go home to tend to my child, attend school plays and other activities. The pay is fair and you have advancement opportunities.

Cons

A lot of work, but that you have everywhere.

Pros

my opinion is valued! a crazy concept but I've been asked what I thought, what my recommendations were, they were advanced AND I got credit for them! The culture here is legit. I've worked places where the beatings will continue until morale improves. And places that say they are about the mission statement but that was really just smoke. Not so here. I'm equally stunned and fascinated by it.

Cons

There are a some folks who higher in the food chain than they can handle and/or should be.
