Pros

A good place to learn. When downsizing, they'll try to reassign employees rather than laying off.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company overall may be ok. However, I do believe the location matters. Then pay is great. But pros depend on the location apparently.

Cons

The company resources and training are outdated. The environment is toxic and non supportive. They are short staffed and over worked to point of burnout. There is poor lack of accountability from both management and Human Resources.
