Pros

In general West is a good place to work because you are doing work that really makes a difference and can have a positive impact on a large number of people. Also, the casual work environment (almost too casual), and the opportunity to work on varying projects.

Cons

Senior leaders don't seem very close to what is really going on in the business. There is a lack of opportunity for growth and a serious lack of accountability.

Business Outlook

Pros

Management is supportive, respectful, and professional. You are almost treated as a friend/family while maintaining a professional atmosphere. This is an organization where a VP would have no problem talking to someone in the lower ranks. Compensated properly if you work hard and show results.

Cons

Flat hierarchy structure and small management teams at satellite facilities create limited career advancement opportunities.
