Pros

The only pro here being these guys are in the right industry at the right time but other than that everything else is miserable.

Cons

From my keen observation what management considers "top performers" in this company are really the biggest suck ups. As with any other company the real cream tends to stay silent and focus on work rather than use all their energy in sucking up and flaunting their half baked knowledge. And management likes that. They don't have the level of expertise needed to look at what everyone is doing exactly but they just go by who talks the most and the loudest.

Pros

Growing and in a great industry segment. Customer base is beginning to transform to reputable companies.

Cons

Foul language, threats, ridicule and humiliation. Political environment like no other. Culture was nonexistent a few years ago, but is starting to emerge. Certain locations and functions get preferred treatment over others by corporate management. Not all are equal......

Pros

-Other reviewers are right, the Company is focused on profitability and revenue but this is not a surprise since all public companies are required to deliver these results to their shareholders. - We recently were named Top 10 of Fortune Magazine's fasted growing companies in the Country. So we are clearly good at what we do. Stock price growth shows that. - The company is filled with lots of talented and dedicated people who drive results and like to be a part of building a strong company. There are growing pains but with the challenges you have opportunity to create solutions and implement change. - I see positive changes and I enjoy putting my stamp on things.

Cons

-Not everyone deals well with being held accountable to your commitments. -Change is not easy but it would be worse to sit still and see the market and your competitors pass you by. -High growth and building are not for everyone. -Adding more vacation days would be nice or moving to PTO program versus vacation/sick.
