Pros

Benefits and pay are decent

Cons

No longer a local company, bought by investment firm and relocating functions to Houston so majority of employees in the area being let go. Politically based promotions from within no matter your experience or how well you do your job.

Pros

Smaller feel, good for prioritizing family and life outside of work. Not too competitive between co-workers. Great collaborative culture.

Cons

On the smaller side means less opportunities and more waiting for roles to open up and advance. I saw a lot of people leave for better opportunities.
