Pros

Benefits are pretty good, except dental which is just okay.

Cons

When I first started here, it was amazing. People were friendly, the rules were nice and lax and the environment was one I could really work in. Eventually the company started growing and morale kept falling. People here now are pretty much only talking about finding a job at a different company. They've enacted so many policies out of nowhere and tightened their grip so tight that people are leaving. Sadly I bought into the "Culture" and got my hopes up about this company, but now I too am applying elsewhere. I've looked for opportunities for advancement and was never responded to. Nepotism is rampant and you can't get anywhere without knowing someone. I've voiced my concerns with my supervisor who just ignored it. I worked really hard here, but now I see that it was in vain, the people who sit around and talk all day get the same exact treatment as I do. On Glassdoor go to reviews and click on "Rating Trends" next to the overall rating and you'll see that it's really gone downhill. I loved it here, but it truly is the same as every other company. Bottom dollar matters and nothing else.

Thank you. Hopefully you had the opportunity to participate in one of the three town halls with Jim Kavanaugh in Edwardsville last week. I'm optimistic that some positive changes are coming. Thanks again and I really appreciate your feedback.
