Pros

- Diversity at forefront of values - Career advancement opportunities and transparency abound - Work is recognized and rewarded - Management style is mainly laid-back: we work hard, we play hard

Cons

- Retention of those who shouldn't be: GMI loves its employees and it hates letting anyone go. Great for job security, but it means you will certainly work with someone who shouldn't be there.
