Pros

There is no shortage of work to be done, most people are fine to work with. Has its motivated moments.

Cons

Poor management which is contantly changing , company keeps hiring young inexperienced supervisors with no background that relates to the product built. There is no organization, its a constant mad dash chasing dollars while work load keeps piling up. Experienced workers treated poorly, over worked for little pay and end up leaving leading to heavy hiring of temps to back full with little success. No standard work enforced to any productive degree, communication is poor at best, favoritism is out of control. There are minimum options for growth with the company once you've been hired in. Its a very stressful environment that will leave you unsatisfied at the very least.

Pros

The growth is creating great opportunities for advancement. If you work hard you will be noticed and rewarded. Management seems to really care about the employees happiness. The company also tries to give back to the communities they are in.

Cons

Need technology improvements. Some departments are slower to change than others.

Great Opportunity

Pros

A blameless culture that rewards high performers with amazing leadership authenticity and humility at the Corporate level. If you're a resilient problem solver who can handle high pressure situations and ambiguity then you'll go far here.

Cons

Workload not managed well, no FBS tools for managing resources (that's in direct conflict with stated values about building extraordinary teams). FBS can't be the only answer - FBS leadership needs to recognize the value of what other companies are doing well and swallow that they must adapt.
