Pros

Great coworkers, hard working and care about the future of the company. Good benefits, above average pay for the area.

Cons

Leadership seemed to be disconnected from the rest of the company. In a shrinking industry doing more with less was a way of life. Advancement opportunities are limited if you are not one of the selected few.
