Pros

The people who still remain from what was once a great company are a definite positive. However, those loyal and dedicated people will continue to exit as this company continues to sacrifice them for the sake of the numbers.

Cons

This was once a company that recognized and rewarded great performance and lived by their values. Unfortunately, it has lost many great employees over the past few years and has transitioned to an organization that promotes based upon who you know and not how you perform. And though they talk about values, they no longer abide by them. When it's not convenient or it doesn't drive numbers, integrity goes out the window. And there are several recently promoted executives who have had a history of not living the values. CEO Spencer Kirk is a great leader and a great man. Unfortunately, I can only speculate that those immediately below him have to be hiding these types of behaviors from him High level director positions are filled on the basis of political expediency, not on the basis of past performance or experience. People are being promoted into high level positions in fields where they have had no previous experience. The chasm between the field and corporate continues to expand as corporate centralization continues to make Salt Lake an exclusive club that closely guards information and meticulously screens those who apply to be a part of that club.

Pros

Good consideration of their employees, and good standard pay

Cons

They say you are getting a raise or getting paid more but its actually the standard pay they give starting off they just want current employees to feel accomplished with the illusion of it so they are trying to catch you up to that pay, and no actual room for growth do to hierarchy standards,
