Pros

Flexible hours
Good work / life balance
Decent benefits

Friendly co-workers

Advice to Senior Management

If there were more opportunity for advancement, I may have hung around for a while longer. This was my biggest reason for leaving: it was a dead end.

Pros

Highly political environment that poses many challenges in accomplishing anything.

Advice to Senior Management

Join the 20th century!

Pros

You can advance through promotions. Livable salary. Great Co-Workers Medical Benefits are top notch.
Free Parking on site. They always have training classes so you can learn new skills. If you want to be promoted management will work with you on what you need to do to get to the next level. 401K program that they contribute up t3% . Bonus yearly as long as the company made a profit. Nice work atmosphere...most in their own cubicles except for Customer Service and they are in a call center type of call center setting but each still has their own desks.

Cons

High turnover of the mangement teams.. They like to bring in NEW blood every couple of years. So if your applying for a management position your days are probably numbered.

Advice to Senior Management

Overall a very good job.
