Pros

Great co-workers. I love the people that I work with day to day. They are the reason I am still here.

Cons

The executives suck. Don't trust them. Lies, lies, lies. They lie to employees. They lie to shareholders. Or maybe they are fools actually believe what they are saying. Not sure. Um, wait....yes. Lies. Sadly, they are poisoning a culture that was once great. Dirk gets a grace period since he is new as CEO, but so far, it looks like he is a member of the liar club (which makes him a liar who also takes away your pay - the worst combo).

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
