Pros

Co workers - there are a lot of amazing people that work here.

Cons

Too many politics. Not impressed with leadership - they are all yes people. Not interested in hiring the right person for the job, simply look and skill set. Have constant turn over. Pay and benefits are not great. Healthcare has become a business.
