A bit slow-paced but good place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Fair pay, excellent benefits, excellent training programs, smart and friendly colleagues, and low-stress environment overall. Managers do care about their staff.

Cons

Slow decision making and platform development. Like somebody else wrote "slow to turn like a cruise ship". Also, it can be a little cliquey and big company impersonal at times. That said, if you're not looking to make friends at work it's fine. Still gave it four starts since pros exceed cons.

Vacaction. Benefits. Summer Hours. Sick Days.

Almost too many too list. No advancement. Company has no idea what direction they are going in. Bad employees are coddled & good ones just leave.
