Pros

Good people through out the Organization Great Customers Great Benefits

Cons

New management team is a step in the wrong direction, June of 2018 to present has been an out of control spiral downward. Bull in a China shop management went out of fashion 20 years ago, people will not put up with this in 2019. Bad reputation in the industry for how employees are treated past and present employees , need to take steps to repair this perception/ reality. Employees on FMLA short term disability released from employment while on leave or shortly after returning to work. highly suspect as the number of people was quite high. Employees approaching milestones for vesting in 401K released days before reaching the milestone. A recipe for how not to treat an employee Customers recognize the management issues and see the high rate of turnover
