Start walking the talk and get rid of any manager that doesn't buy into and demonstrate your corporate values, mission statement and HR policies.

Work / Life balance is supported by all levels of management. Career planning and progression offer many opportunities for those who wish to move within the company.

Pros

great responsibilities
management team is generally very approachable
working environment is very social and comfortable
employees are very friendly and helpful

Their evaluation really depends on what is the type of person of your boss and your relationship with them when you work there

They should provide more well rounded evaluation (ex. peer, management, subordinates), train their new supervisors on how to train and help develop potential future employees.

Pros

Good salary compensation was provided.

Cons

Very poor focus on training and career development.

Advice to Senior Management

Need to review some of lower level management.
