It was closed-nit. More of a Good-ole-Boy society. The potential to be an extraordinary organization is missed.

Business Outlook

Pros

Large company and the cost of benefits is minimal, however, promotions are available if the game is plaid.

Cons

Ethical conduct at management level and above is passe. Unethical behavior flies out the window when honesty to clients is required. Prime example is the New York Education rebate fiasco. Managers do not move forward if they do not work within the span of covering us the financials shenanigans.
