Pros

The people and teammates are great.

Cons

Too many leaders that talk too much and do too little. Leaders that don't actually lead their teams and make things better for their team.

Pros

It was a little crazy when we first started. It’s fun working on the business side of things. Leave is accrued at 6.2 hours per pay period. Health insurance is good. The pay is decent, but it could be way better.

Cons

Too many moving parts ; too many different departments handling different things. You become a jack of all trades and a master of little. I’d prefer more leave and a more organized structure. They are working on making changes though.
