Pros

-The current success of the company brings a sense of pride as an employee. -Total comp plan brings rewards if you can remain with the company 3 - 5 years. -You will work with a diverse group of peers that will enhance your life.

Cons

-The customer centric front works. Behind the scenes its chaos. The current growth without standardizing and structure brings more chaos. -Intelligent people are hired, under-employed and under-utilized. -Training and development are not a priority at the management levels. -Performance management is a passive aggressive process. It manages nothing and kills morale. -The lack of work/life balance is not worth waiting for the comp. rewards.

Pros

I love the growth opportunities, and the ability to make my job my own. So long as it s safe and legal we are free to give it a shot. The pay is pretty good and the stock options are doing amazing! I have been able to perform well and feel that I have been recognized and am respected by leadership and my peers.

Cons

I hate living my life feeling that I only put in a 12 hour day and I should be doing more. Always on call, always behind. I feel like the walk of shame after leaving a 10 hour day once a week to get my kids from the after school program.
