Pros

Good employees who want things to be better. Individuals want to be successful but the management doesn't know how to remove their heads from their hind ends to make this happen. I miss the people that worked there not the people who ran those individuals into the ground.

Cons

Poor management that doesn't recognize the difference between a good and bad employee. Most managers there are just about making the numbers not about improving the company or the individuals who work there.
