Not a great place

Business Outlook

Pros

There are some great managers, but they are few and far between. Independent place to work and you do work from home for most positions - lots of skype calls Ability to network on the job

Cons

Tons of restructuring going on for over the past year with most of middle management positions being eliminated. I was promised a promotion that was taken away due to restructuring. In three years I had 7 supervisors with no continuity or stability.
