      Great Place to Work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good Leadership, Great Benefits. Good Long Term Career Growth and Opportunities.

      Cons

      No real negatives. The company is going through a transition, where we've had declining revenues for a few years, and the leadership team is actively working to return the company to growth. While downsizing is never ideal or popular, you also cannot justify/rationalize maintaining the same level of expenses when your revenues have declined. You have to adjust in order to achieve a sustainable budget. I think the organization is working towards that and has positive intent in mind for the organization.
