Pros

Incredible Senior Management Team shows a consistent message. Many opportunities to grow. Above average benefits package.

Cons

Below average pay. Middle Management is below average. Work in a “team-like” environment but as time goes by you’re in a silo alone. Very slow pay growth. Unstable Stock Market performance gives you a feeling you might be next on the block.
