Pros

Work function itself is relatively pleasant and presents adequate challenges. General staff employees are nice. Work-life balance can be achieved.

Cons

Recent months some employees were left go with reasons that were not being entirely transparent or communicated honestly by management. They were being promised with job security and shortly after they were being left go. The morals have been discouraging and toxic to team members who stayed at the company. Management intention to improve/repair moral by creating outside-work-hour activities is almost a ironic. Staff employees are not encouraged to learn new skills that could be applicable for improving job functions and thinking outside-the-box is not advocated
