Pros

Steady work for the most part Opportunity to travel Flexible schedules Name recognition

Cons

Management should receive professional training Interesting to see that comments indicate management cronyism is similar across offices Loyalty to employee is not the bottom line Poor efforts on compensation - especially after professional/licensed status is achieved

Pros

Very employee oriented, for example employee cubicles have the outer glass walls, managers have the inside offices. Also the work-life balance is very good.

Cons

I can't really find a con for this company, work-life balance is really great and the management is very sensitive to the employees. the benefits are great but a little on the expensive side.
