Pros

Facilities are nice. Campus in Richmond is very nice. There are a great deal of people being promoted or at the management level.

Cons

Not the best compensation. Too many long term employees with very little initiative or motivation. Seems like they're stuck in the nineties.

Pros

You will be busy, so if you like to be busy, that's great. It was nice to have a flexible schedule when needed.

Cons

No chance of advancement. If you expressed any interest in another part of the company, they did nothing to get you a chance to see if it was an area you could move to.
