Pros

Base salary and benefits are ok for the area but lowest in company. You can live off 1 income working here.

Cons

More overtime than most people want. They don't hire as people quit or retire, just make you work more overtime. They show you a schedule for a years time and tell you how you can plan your life but what they fail to tell you is, you live from week to week due to the forced overtime

Pros

The CEO seems like a straight-forward, stand up guy. Great location downtown for the most part.

Cons

This company is backward in it's thinking. Processes are from the early to mid 2000s. People are paranoid and have no personality. HR turned over nearly 80% in the span of six weeks and got worse. While pay is good, the people must hate their families because they never go home. Technology might as well be calculators as it is poor.
