Pros

The benefits are great and half the price of my husband's who works for a large ambulance company. All the supervisors are kind, helpful, understanding and compassionate. I started working for a brand new center at its opening and add long as you paid attention the work is simple to understand. I got ill and had to take a leave of absence. HR was very helpful in explaining how to do it and what I was entitled to before calling. I ended up needing surgery and easily turned my personal leave into a medical leave with a phone call. I filled out the paperwork and my doctor faxed it back. I had no problems returning to work when my leave was over. They give you a bonus every month you don't use your unpaid time.

Cons

During peak season you will work 60 hours a week at the time you most want to spend with your family. The work is very physically demanding and you cannot sit for 10 hours unless you are on break so makesure you invest in a great pairof sneakers (I suggest new balance but that's just me).

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
