Pros

They take care of their employees well. They are currently having teething problems with the spin-off. Having to rebrand 2-3 times over a span of 2 years is pretty hard. I like the my team they are great and hope to ride through these tough times of maybe a couple of quarters to come up on the bright side of things turning around.

Cons

M/A and Spin-off in quick succession. Operations teams are not very efficient.
