Pros

It is a great company with different facets for all. I do not have any real complaints.

Cons

Within my department growth opportunities aren't as high in number, it would be best to find positions within other departments. The ideals of management are also a bit ambiguous and one should probably always question what areas they believe growth should occur in order to advance.

Opportunity to grow in different sectors and multiple company options to find the right fit.
