Business Outlook

Pros

The compensation is good and benefits are competitive. The Company continues to grow with mergers.

Cons

The company continues to grow with merger at the expense of good employees that are still not valued. There is a lack of professional growth opportunities, work-life balance is not a priority. Employee value is different from department to department but until competent updated management gets in place - things will not change.

It's corporate America -- white, privileged, out-of-touch men calling the shots for the rest of us.

Business Outlook

Pros

New CEO seems to care about employee morale.

Cons

Hard work not necessarily rewarded. It's easy to get overlooked and lost in the shuffle if you're not good at calling attention to yourself. Promotions and decent raises are hard to come by.
