Pros

Facilities are clean and adequate.

Cons

Low morale. Employees are treated with little respect and given almost no recognition for achievements. No support for professional training or development for over three years. No humor, no fun, no spirit of company achievement or success.

Pros

Very good group of co-workers

Cons

Management incorrectly told me to my face I did not need to worry about job security. With absolutely no indication or warning they had a large lay-off. I do not like being mis-lead. I totally understand about business decisions and would have expected the respect of a truthful answer to my questions.

Pros

At least at the Richmond site, there are a lot of fun, young employees so it's a good place to make friends. They are willing to hire and train recent college grads so you can get that "1-2 years experience" required for most other positions. The job is relatively easy and low stress and managment tolerates lots of slakcing off (so this is only a "pro" if you're looking for an easy job that you're not planing to make a career out of).

Cons

Senior management is not interested in the personal and professional growth of their employees; they are only concerned with their bottom line.
