Business Outlook

Pros

The company interview and hiring process is very selective. That means employees trust each other. Very little politics. There is a lot of teamwork, and still there are opportunities to exercise inititive, take responsibility and get something done. When mistakes happen, people are unafraid to accept blame, and everyone wants to help resolve problems.

Cons

Not the best benefits, yet salaries are competitive. The jobs require travel the time away from home is tough. At least, the home office people truly appreciate the "road warriors" and do their best to help them where possible.
