Business Outlook

Pros

Was supposedly a wonderful company for many years that prioritized employees being able to work effectively. Most benefits are fairly good.

Cons

Company has lost contracts, shrunk or outsourced the IT department, and seems more focused on public relations and having the Latest Greatest Thing™ whether it be corporate vehicles, touch screen TV's for the meeting rooms, or a brand new way to keep track of employee 'goals'. The company is very top-heavy with a large C suite while still seeming directionless. Also, only a half match for 401k? Who else even does that anymore?
