Pros

Very solid and established business, it runs almost alone. Good benefits, average salaries

Cons

Because it runs so easily very weak leadership, more focused in politics than performance. The best example of amatour leadership is the IT department (T&I)

Pros

Great benefits. Affordable health insurance

Cons

Stagnant growth. They only focus on leadership development or licensed trades. Growth is based on friendships. Skills and experience don’t mean much.
