      Pros

      Great company. You'll see a lot of cool things working in GA and the company is still growing.

      Cons

      Advancements can be slow in certain positions, Sometimes pay is a bit below market average, but some would say being one of the last companies that offer a pension, that Benefits can outweigh that fact.

      Advice to Management

      Try to keep pay at market average at least, could stop turnover rates in certain departments.
