It's a great place to work. The 4th quarter is our busiest and we usually work several hours of overtime.

Pros

Great culture. Awesome work-life balance. Overtime is offered if necessary. I love the people I work with as well. I am allowed to work from home a couple days which helps because I live pretty far away.

Cons

In this department- there is not too much room for growth, but you can always move around in the company.

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is good and the environment including the co-workers makes this job bearable. Great benefits and PTO depending on hire dates 1 week sick time ( 2014- 2015 ) had 10 days sick time.

Cons

Senior management has no clue as to what the job expects and it can take up all of your personal life and you can be written a bad review off of false pretenses. Not much diversity and can use a refresher in higher management and it can use a redirecting in real expectations of specialist workloads.( uneven).
