Pros

Great employees, managers, directors..I can't say enough good things about my co-workers and supervisors. I do not miss the job, but I miss them.

Cons

Employees are somewhat disposable assets, communication from the top about upcoming plans is lacking. Waiting for the ax to drop is stressful, but that's normal in this field.
