Pros

If you are looking for a friendly, laid back place to work with decent benefits this is a good place to work. Work Monday-Friday 8:30-5:30 and the work pace is relatively slow. This is really an administrative/operations position.

Cons

Limited job growth in offices outside of the head office in Fairfax. Salary is decent but there is additional compensation.

Pros

Great people and very smart.

Cons

Old technology and aging platform. Employees' skills quickly become obsolete. Incredibly political, and hierarchical culture for a small company. No room for new ideas unless it comes from the CEO.
