Pros

Staff consists of high-quality professionals working in a cooperative culture. The compensation package is good with excellent benefits. Company markets products that positively impact people.

Company has been in state of transition for 15 years without a consistent target which is impacting company culture. Management decisions are often reactionary, rather than strategic.

Pros

Fairly competitive salary and great health benefits. There's also a good feeling associated with helping people cope with or prevent illnesses.

Cons

The US business conducts regular headcount reduction exercises, which results in increasing workloads for the remaining employees. Leadership is hit or miss.
