Salaries were relatively decent for most employees.

Cons

Need to keep jobs in the U.S. instead of sending so many over seas. Way too many managers and not nearly enough people actually doing the work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Location The company pays a lot of favoritism towards female employees, so if your young and halfway good looking and willing to be flirtatious with management you will do well. Don't trust anyone working there. Including middle and upper management.

Cons

High turnover, Middle management is over bearing, A/R dept is in a building with no windows. Poor communication between Company owners on the Eastern part of the country and local management. If your new and are not a tree hugging liberal, you wont fit in. Check for Hillary and Bernie bumper stickers. If your not a democrat left winger keep looking. Below scale on pay and benefits. No support from Corporate mgt. Company orientation is lengthily and useless, needs more emphases on actual training than political correctness.
