Pros

There are so many wonderful people that work there.....and it's unfortunate that they work with management that aren't so wonderful.

Cons

- There is so much dysfunction and disorganization that I don't even know where to begin. The leadership team is scrambling most of the time to figure out what they want to do. They would rather spend their time talking about their feelings than actually getting anything done. - The benefits are not that great. Why even pay hundreds in insurance if it does not cover anything? - The lack of diversity leaves a lot to be desired. They claim to have all these policies in place but they lack any self awareness or tact to deal with the equity issues in the workplace.
