Pros

Eased into tasks. Training is well thought out. There is a great knowledge base is shared within the team. You get out what you put in. Your work-life is very flexible and hardly ever conflicts. The headquarters location is always presenting numerous opportunities for locals and students seeking new opportunities in their careers. Employee are presented with tools, devices, and services that meet their needs and requirements. Security awareness is constantly reinforced and tested.

Cons

Cubicals are generally populated within locations but there exists open spaces to accommodate for them. Trainings can be lengthy and often boring which can lead to problems with new employees slacking off or feeling unfulfilled as it takes a while to get accustomed to the environment and several projects and structures that make up the company (the learning curve it is not for everyone but definitely is doable for those who want to learn and improve). The headquarters location can be a difficult commute and living close can present a challenge because it is in a very overcrowded area with little available space

Pros

Some of the greatest people in Boone work here. It allows you to live in a lovely (albeit expensive) area. A lot of people care a lot about what they do and no one is slacking. Pay is decent for the area and industry. If you like job security, no one ever stops needing groceries, and ECRS supports that industry!

Cons

Leadership suffers from alignment being related to a person rather than a set vision, goal or target market. Meaning whatever the CEO desires at that time is most important or valuable. Regardless of if that new desire goes against some previous thing. Success can be defined by being liked by the CEO or disliking someone not in good graces, or blaming someone for a problem that happens rather than shared ownership. If you are okay with politics or blaming others before anything bad falls on you, you can succeed, and heavily. One instance that stood out to me, was watching a particular individual petition against a decision/direction made on a project, be told to disagree and commit to the CEO alignment call. They did so, and then got blamed several months later, for letting the decision get made. In addition they were told, if they disagreed so heavily they should have challenged, and clearly "did not care about their job or company enough to push back". It was appalling to watch. This company could be great instead of mediocre. It has access to so much talent.
