Pros

People are generally friendly and pleasant to work with; desire to keep things not overly complicated and be bogged down in complicated procedures and processes.

Cons

Small town Louisiana executives running a major corporation. Small company perspective not appropriate for the size and complexity of the entire corporation. Headquarters in Monroe, LA and salary structure limiting in terms of the talent at the senior executive level.
