Great busy atmosphere, good boss and coworkers. Everything is fair and everyone is friendly. Plus you get whatever you want for lunch :D It was a bit sad for me to leave when I moved out of state.

Occasional drama or someone dumb enough to create one. Busy environment, if it stresses you out not for you.
