Pros

There are a lot of motivated people who are easy to work with. If you're looking for a company that cares about its community and giving back to those in need, this organization is for you.

Cons

Management could improve communication with its employees based on what their job responsibilities entail. I disliked having two departments telling me to follow two different sets of directions.

Pros

Lots of responsibility. Decentralized company, which can work in your favor.

Cons

Pay is low based on competitors. Politics, lots of it. Cost-centers everywhere. Everyone has to make money off the branches: the hub, NA, regions, support, etc. Being a GM is probably one of the hardest jobs. Your job on the lean team is to support NA and the branch. It is hard to fully support both at the same time. It is a balancing act that frequently is blamed on you. Frequently, your coworkers just want to put their name on your work and create problems because of their egos.
