A good place to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay and benefit package. Warm, welcoming work environment. Plenty of support for peers.

Cons

The corporate structure is kind of tight and without someone in your corner there no chance for promotion or self improvement. In our office there is a leadership void and little access to management. I feel like there is little room for older employees.
