      Pros

      The salary and benefits are great. Overall, the company is a good place to work and they are very patient focused. There can be opportunity here if you play your cards right. I enjoy working here and am generally proud.

      Cons

      The environment is political (toxic at times) and can be difficult to achieve results due to differing opinions and strong personalities. It takes some resilience and patience to work here. There are also many different priorities that are defocusing people and causing stress.
