Pros

UR is the leader in the industry and has expanded rapidly over the past several decades. Numerous acquisitions have expanded the footprint. Plenty of opportunity for advancement for ambitious employees.

Cons

Effort and ambition is valued from the bottom up; however, there is a growing tendency towards top-down management. Metrics are established at the corporate level and individual profit centers are highly accountable to regional offices. Or is this a plus?

Pros

There are locations all across the country. I know I can work anywhere in the country (if there is a position open) and grow with the company. I have been able to meet a lot of people throughout the company at different training events. There is so much potential to grow with the company, we get uniforms provided, great benefits, and many useful tools.

Cons

If you do not speak up and go for the next job what you want, you can easily get lost in a large corporation.
