Pros

Some smart people at lower level roles

Cons

Hr team has some smart, serious, hard working people in lower level manager and employee roles but mid level leadership and directors are behind the times, with not enough updated knowledge to understand the way of the world today in HR and recruiting

Pros

Had an excellent team. Good benefits. decent pay.

Cons

By far one of the worst places I have worked. Employees spend more time playing politics than actual work. You can outperform everyone in your group and never get promoted. And people who do not do anything get promoted sometimes 2 twice in two years. Overall the culture is cancer. They just want to maintain the status-quo.
