Pros

There's room for advancement for those who really want it. I’ve had an opportunity to work with a great team of people in my current and previous roles which has made it easy to come to work each day. I feel current initiatives will place the organization in a position to prove itself as an industry leader.

Cons

There is a strong need for diversity within the organization. While we are attracting more women to what has been a historically male dominated organization, there is a need for minority representation across all levels.
