Pros

Company promotes balance of work and personal life. Gives resources for employees to enjoy the outdoors. Great benefits package and discount. Cares and gets involved in the community and the environment.

Cons

Management is not always qualified or experienced in the positions they are in. Managers do not always provide clear expectations and do not give feedback, coaching, or counseling until annual reviews are given. Employees are not able to correct or improve performance until it is too late. Managers are not good leaders.
