Great benefits including PTO, vacation, sick leave, health care. Innovative company with a global presence and worldwide locations. Interesting culture.

Micromanagement by General Manager. Unfair treatment if not one of "teachers pets". Lack of communication by our department managers-no staff meetings, no training, infighting between the two department managers.
