Company very cut throat now.

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great customer service oriented company.

Cons

Used to have good reputation as a place to work. A few years ago the ESOP was supposed to keep that same environment as a place to work and a great people/customer focused oriented business, but things changed over the last few years for the worse. Now, ESOP gone and company back to private ownership. Fully expect it to be very cut throat toward employees and customers.
