Great People; lack of vision

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people to work with. Your co-workers become part of your family. Nobody pulled a rank card on you and they were all open to suggestions on how to improve the company.

Cons

Pay is not on par with similar positions in the Bay Area. Also, the company seemed to have much foresight into changes going on in the industry.
