Pros

Only one office was comfortable to be at. The other was very uncomfortable, and you almost felt as if everyone was talking behind your back.

Cons

They need more comunication. If they don't like something about you, they need to tell you. If you need to fix something,they need to let you know. They don't give you warnings! they just make up reasons to fire people if they don't like you. I will no longer be a patient either. Now it's to uncomfortable.

Pros

Great culture and company vision. Emphasis on ethics, work life balance and continuing education support.

Cons

There is a lack of competitive compensation and promotion from within. Company policies developed to reduce employee abuse of leap frogging through promotions to gain an increase in salary have caused the inability for legitimate increases to be awarded from within and now employees question whether they should leave and come back just to be able to be hired back on at the desired promoted position for the greater amount of pay that would be offered to a new hire rather than from within. There is a disconnect to rewarding loyalty.
