Pros

Great wages and benefits, which is why I'm not giving KC two stars. I originally worked on a great team, too. One of my supervisors was a great example of servant leadership. There's also some great colleagues I worked with.

Cons

The work culture is a perfect example of Espoused Theory. KC talks a lot about equity and social justice, but the behaviors (theory-in-use) of management show otherwise. You do not get promoted for doing good work. It's not what you know, it's who you know.
