This review is about the special programs division of MacB:
The compensation is probably not the highest that you'll see in the San Antonio area.
Sometimes it can be hard to get training.
Management is often very busy, so miscommunication happens with some frequency.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the great work, employees know you're doing your best.
Unfortunately, with the state of the market these days, you might have to fork out a little extra to retain the folks with the necessary skills to do the work.
I've enjoyed my time there.
