Pros

Made it through the recession because of wealthy people. Business groups fell off but are now coming back. Good environment esthetically to work in. Hours are very good, can practically choose which days and times to work.

Cons

Management, Management, MANAGEMENT!!! Need I say more. They need training on how NOT to treat people badly, how not to PLAY favorites, how to COMMUNICATE CLEARLY AND PRECISELY. Communication is horrible between team members and other departments. Lots of secrets and withholding of information. LOts of gossip. The worst personality always get promoted based on the persons ability to LIE, CHEAT, AND SLEEP HIS/HER way to the top. Pay could be a lot better.
