Pros

Benefits are amazing, and there exists a true team spirit among employees. The company has a substantial vision that believes in customer satisfaction through employee satisfaction

Cons

The company does not prepare itself for change well, or is unable to manage sudden change with much success. The result is often inconsistent goals and fleeting processes that make work difficult.

Pros

Very good for entry level. It's a company with a good reputation so pretty good to have on one's resume. The work atmosphere is fairly laid back.

Since the economic downturn there is not much opportunity for growth.
