Pros

Pretty new refrigerators and microwaves in the kitchen areas, but all depends if you are in the nicer buildings. Some of the older buildings are in bad shape have funny smells.

Cons

Very ironic that People listed as one of there core values when they treat people rather poorly. Lots of redundancies going on with Foster acquisition on both sides and instead of trying to move people to other roles or find other sutiable places for them they decide to fire people. Too many good people and skills being lost. Then I havee seen managment hire brand new people for similar or sometimes the same roles at a much higher rate. Cronyism? Makes no sense. Several mangers are also to afraid to let go there own people making HR do the layoffs instead. Cowardly. Again managment seems to afraid to act. When they want to get rid of someone they put them on a special project. Had mupltile cases of people straight up quitting because they were frustrated on there special projets. I suppose that is kinda smart so severence is not paid but seems unessary to put people thruogh that. If someone is really doing a poor job or needs coaching then just tell them instead of playing the speical projects games.
