Pros

Decent pay and benefits if you are working 45 hours a week. (The working hours are more like 55 hours a week. ) The physical office surrounds are very nice.

Cons

The leadership has one approach under the past CEO. Expect to work long hours and every changing business initiatives. This is also a lot of employee turnover and a survivor mentality. Senior management is not recognizing the importance of team building or employee retention. Lack of training to the employees was quite apparent.
