Business Outlook

Pros

Family owned company Nice coworkers Friendly atmosphere

Cons

Regretfully, some leadership are so comfortable at hiding behind each other backs and doing shady things that really harm their teams. Associate Relationship team purposely close their eyes on it when reported to them. Most likely because leadership employees have been there for a long time and would be too expensive for the company to get rid of. Also, allegedly, it’s easier to just move or get rid of lower level employees.
