Pros

Great culture. People genuinely care about each other and are very approachable. Most of the people I have interacted with act like adults and are professional and there to get the best work done. There is nothing but opportunity right now in this industry and at this company. The executive team is very transparent and communicative.

Cons

The health benefits are not great, definitely room for improvement to lower costs for employees.
