Pros

Most staff care about what they do. Benefits are great, especially tuition remission and health insurance.

Cons

Managers get no training or guidance in management or leadership. Some are great because they happened to get good mentorship, but there is nothing in place to ensure that managers & directors are anything other than good worker bees, so that's what most of them are.
