Pros

Great if you live in Monroe, LA

Cons

"Guiding Principles", like a lot of companies, are posted everywhere, but they are not really followed. "Faith" in management is not a principle, it is a cult. Acquisitions are based on picking weak companies, and executive decisions are very haphazard. Morale is as low as I have ever seen it at a company.

Pros

Good pay, great benefits, great people to work with, boss is great, etc.

Cons

Company is undergoing transformation, so it's a bit chaotic. Have to work with old stuff and new stuff at the same time. Hopefully that will change as we transform further.
