Pros

Espouses terrific values High levels of integrity with customers and consumers Support for community Sustainability

Cons

What once was a great culture is now changing due to restructurings, job eliminations, expense containment, etc. Employees who are "left behind" to pick up the pieces are beginning to leave and more will go after meager incentive checks in the summer.
