Pros

The people that you will be working with are some of the nicest co-workers you could hope for, from different backgrounds and experiences. There is a lot of movement in the company, if you show initiative and professionalism there is a lot of opportunity for career development.

Cons

The company is top heavy with VP's and senior management. The decisions these people are making have an impact on a lot of people, these decisions have been very questionable lately.

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented coworkers, the smart ones will/have moved on to other pastures. The workers strive to make a difference for the customers each day in and day out.

Cons

Lack ability/willingness to listen to ideas from staff performing the work. Many managers are not forthcoming, nor truthful with you. Management possesses the attitude you should be grateful to have a job, rather than being recognized as an asset and truly part of a team.
