Pros

Great work/life balance. Benefits are fantastic, where else can you get 4 weeks of PTO starting and add 1 week every 5 years?

Cons

West Valley City is a call center. Expect to be on the phones, as a coach or team leader most of your career here unless you move to Chicago and land a HQ position.
