Pros

Pay is good. Employee Bonus and Reward programs available. Financially stable company to work for. Good health care benefits.

Cons

This company takes no consideration for family life. The amount of hours this company expects you to work are extreme. They try to keep their costs down by hiring as few people as possible which causes overwhelming work load for the employee. For being a financially successful company it is beyond me why they refuse to hire enough staff needed for the job. Many employees are burned out and unhappy working here. Upper management has been approached concerning these issues and no corrective action steps were taken by them. Very poor upper management

No structure, processes are constantly changing, not enough manpower.

Pros

There are a lot of hard working people, small office so is't not stuffy like corporate offices.

Cons

No real teamwork, it's an every man for themselves environment. Of course some of that is because there is too much work and not enough people.

Pros

Great staff. Most are hard-working middle class employees who pour their hearts into the work.

Cons

Very poor upper management that refuses to listen to employees & correct problems at the lower level. Constantly changing procedures without giving proper time for the employees to adapt. Over-worked, tired & fed-up employees. Swarms are handing in resignations without another job to go to. No family/work balance. Never can do enough to keep management happy. Poor recognition and/or promotions unless you are a favorite.
