      Pros

      Ability to advance is there... You do have to dedicate your life to them. Upper management is changing, and going thru some growing pains. But overall good place to work.

      Cons

      Takes a substantial amount of your time. Family must be very supportive. Make sure you have a strong support system, and your personal relationships are stable as well.

      Advice to Management

      Follow your heart. Have a strong backbone, and stay focused. Not everything is as it seems.. You have to be a problem solver and decision maker.. Sometimes, its better to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission. They respect opinions.. Just dont buck the system..
