      Advancement is available if you are willing to invest a lot of your personal time on extra projects and assignments.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Full scale of career opportunities, support at district and corporate level to field are good as long as your manager supports.

      Cons

      Manager changes seem more frequent and each manager has own agenda and process. Once everyone is on same page then a new manager.

      Pros

      . Good company for starting a career . Little perks like company picnic, lunches, etc

      Cons

      A lot of departments understaffed, overworked. Management pointing fingers at one another. Low-morale is evident but managers ill-equipped to handle. Difficult to professionally move around another department unless you are in the higher management level or unless you are within the group's "elite or hip crowd". Seems to foster a spirit of fraternization among managers rather than foster inspiration to future leaders. A lot of talented and efficient employees specially in key areas were let go without extensive consultation or planning. Use to be "honor-system" now, time-in/out clocks.
