Pros

I enjoyed the people I worked with and the pay was reasonable.

Cons

Over the past 5 years, the company has gone through 2 or 3 mergers and consolidations. As a result, many long-term employees were laid off. In my former role, I worked with 22 people. As of today, there are 3 left... The remaining 19 positions were relocated to other states...
