Business Outlook

Pros

• Management is passionate about their work. • Management cares for the community. • Management is flexible with employee needs. • Whitnessed attempts to keep individual employed despite role changes. • Lots of seemingly random positions available. Law, community liason, cyber security, biology, sales, construction, and more!

Cons

• Uncertain direction from senior leadership at times. • I wish accountability was a little stronger.
