Pros

Holiday gift cards are given annually

Cons

Management is grossly underdeveloped. Lack of proper leadership skills. Lack of internal growth within the company or opportunities to move up. Whatever position you are at, you are more likely to stay there.

Pros

The institution offers tuition reimbursement.

Cons

The manager consistently exhibited a negative attitude and often belittled employees, which resulted in a hostile and stressful work environment. I recommend that job seekers consider other opportunities where they can work for an organization that acknowledges their hard work while treating them with fairness and respect.
