Pros
I have been here under a year and while everyone has their warranted opinions, compliments and gripes, I believe it's a matter of what you have endured in the past as a comparison. For me, I truly appreciate the professionalism with a balance of a down-to-earth environment. My past experiences have been, more than not, in a very stressful, fast paced and demanding surroundings that caused a lot of interruptions in work flow and unproductive. What I see here is a steady hum of busy and productive with everyone showing the other due respect for their knowledge and abilities. There is always better and worse, no matter where and what, I am just thankful to have the opportunity to learn the new and contribute the skills and knowledge I already have - it seems to be appreciated in my dept., at least. But, I try to use the positive approach as much as possible, in spite of the constant circling negatives. It's all energy being used, I just see more benefit in choosing the one that enables me to do my best instead of the one that doesn't. Overall, I'm very glad to be here.
Cons
401K match would be great and help;keep the co competitive in recruiting quality people and retaining the existing quality ones.
