Business Outlook

Pros

Commitment to growth and development of employees, as well as recognizing employees' individual and group achievements.

Cons

HR's attitude and treatment of employees who find within themselves the courage to come forward with information which exposes managerial misconduct. The company places mitigating the potential risk of litigation above employees' reasonable expectation of fair working conditions in an environment free of workplace discrimination/retaliation—particularly by tenured employees performing in leadership roles.
