Pros

Friendly environment. OK place to work and learn for entry level. Did not experience a lot of growth. However, some find it an Ok place to grow if you work for the right department.

Cons

The company seems to still be looking for some direction departmental wise. The traditional work hard and let the numbers and your efforts represent you does not exist. You have to put on a perception act to have management's attention and ultimately move forward the ladder.

Pros

Progressive company, involved leaders within the company who actively look for ways to involve employees. Many opportunities to advance within the company as well as opportunities for the employees to develop as well-rounded individuals, such as charity and volunteer events. A very close-knit community with friendly, caring staff.

Cons

Some staff get too personally involved in others' lives, which can result in an uncomfortable work experience. Some staff not readily available for assistance.
