Pros

So far they are much better than the company they purchased or merged with. vacation time increases with seniority and such, they are much more professional from an absolute management standpoint.

Cons

Strange demands to get certain things done while at the same time pushing the hourly limit per week, which is good and bad, but there has to be an accountability to this when you are also permanently serving a customer who also puts demands on you. Keiser Permanente is not the insurance company we lost, and it is not the company that it once was.
