Pros

Reputable company Picking up some new businesses Worked with some smart and hard working colleagues Ok benefits plan

Cons

No open communication from management on company's direction. Would have liked to see how each of us fit into the grand purpose of this movement. We are always moving, but never sure if moving in the right direction. Such a pity to lose valued employees this way. No targets given to staff. Lots of overtime and highly stressful. Feel bad to even take sick day or vacation.

Overall a decent place to work

Pros

Pay and benefits are competitive. As each location is relatively small (less than 50 employees on average) work was like a second home, co-workers were great, just like family.

Cons

Over the last 3 years, upper management has had very poor vision, trying new services and then giving up on them too soon. It was confusing to employees, so I know it was confusing to customers.
