Pros

Overall great benefits and many more improvements. Community is a big part of this company. Company is going through restructuring right now, but they are smart decisions for the future.

Cons

It’s hard to work here! You will be tested with your thinking, but that makes you better off overall. The hardest part is knowing how many people get fired and always being very uneasy about that. Your manager will determine if you have a good experience so there can be “teams” of people. This will either work for you or against you. No true internal promotions, leads to lack of career path. If you are “ upper management” you will be on day one. The days of being able to start as a receptionist or Mail room and work your way up, are no more.
