Pros

decent starting pay, that is it

Cons

Terrible work environment - corporate people are all that matters as well as upper management. Day to day people at the branch are treated awful and very underappreciated. They would rather waste money on "regional" meetings where all they did was drink and party then actually provide assistance or compensate employees for doing more than just their job. Because they will hire you, under pay you, and ask you to do others jobs, because thats how they operate!

Pros

This is a very human place. People are generous with support and consistently demonstrate a connection to each other. The mission of the organization is one that everyone can relate to. Highly recommend.

Cons

We are very distributed based on number of locations. We are still connected but I'd like to be able to connect with more people in person.

Pros

The work hours make for a good work/home life balance. Employees at all levels are usually willing to help one another. Fairly good job security.

Cons

Pretty meager health benefits for such a large company. Base pay that will never be competitive. The sense of feeling you’re expected to do the job of 2 1/2 people for the pay of one. Management gives you the sense that we’re just barely getting by financially at all times.
