      Pros

      Great benefits and plus's for being an employee.

      Cons

      The management. Upper and lower management. They do not pay attention to any conflict that may happen to the employees.

      Please note this is a former employee who stuck around less than a year. The Pros listed above are "great benefits and plus's for being an employee." I have no idea who this is so have no idea what their issue was, but it's the same managers that are being criticized here who supplied the "Pros" listed above. I'd argue we are constantly paying attention to what employees have to say and issues they have. No company is perfect, but we try very hard to listen well and react to any conflicts that do arise.

      So obviously this former employee wasn't happy with their employment here, and that's unfortunate. It's interesting to note that the Con comment is "you better be a man if you want to make it at this company"---- and then references her manager, who is a female. So obviously her female manager has been successful in being promoted three different times to achieve her current leadership position. Jeff McDonald, Senior VP of Human Resources

      Pros

      Amazing co-workers and management. Plenty of opportunities for advancement to individuals who show motivation.

      Cons

      Exponential growth of company can be very demanding. Difficult to keep up.

      Thanks for the very positive review. Huge growth is for sure a challenge, but it's a wonderful problem to have :-). Onward and upward. Jeff McDonald, Senior VP of Human Resources
