Pros

Great place to work. Amazing benefits, able to move around internally. Upper management is direct and doesn’t sugarcoat. In Des Moines you will see the CEO walking around and he likes to buy people lunch in 711. His jokes are sometimes funny.

Cons

There are a few bad apple managers who resist change. Avoid them and if you get one apply internally after a year.
