Pros

It was fine. My boss was amazing. HR at the time wasn't. Eventually quit from massively hostile work environment after over 3 years of not handling it.

Cons

Haven't worked there since before the Center State merger, so honestly couldn't give a good con any longer. Don't feel comfortable having left years ago. Although, don't expect anything around the holidays aside from a handshake from the CEO, and a candy cane....if you're lucky
