Pros

The company is very personable, you see senior leadership frequently and they know who you are and what you do. They care about their image, community representation, and their people. The work is spread out between several different businesses and you get some exposure to the other businesses. It's hard work, challenging, and high stress but the company is rewarding in salary, 401K, and profit share. The company has put programs in place to develop talent but needs improvement.

Cons

I would have loved to stay with the company and was angling to do so but I was part of a business sale The Wills Group made. Unfortunately, that agreement does not allow me to return for a certain period of time. Some cons....stabilize some of the departments. HR is a rotating door and it may be because they hire the wrong people. Because of that, some managers have not had proper management training or don't know the impact of their management on their employees. The company has a talent development program in place but limped to the finish line and still seems incomplete. Hopefully they can find someone to champion that effort long term. Invest more effort into how to accomplish the big ideas instead of merely thinking of the big ideas. Sometimes, everyone gets in the "big idea" mode and little thought is placed into execution. Depending on what part of the business you're in, sometimes you don't have a work/life balance. And it comes down to time of year, type of work, or impression/expectation given off by others.
