Great people and office environment, but there's a lack of direction.

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are great. A very family friendly company. The office always has a good feel to it. It is very rare to run into anyone that is not nice.

Cons

Wish the company had a solid direction in the industry, instead of being happy with being number 2. This mentality goes all the way down too.
