Pros

Up until when the current CEO came on board it was a terrific company to work for. Employees were as important as the customers.

Cons

Since the new CEO took over, there has been a constant round of layoffs off and all of the best Senior and Executive managers have left to go to other companies. Is that just a coincidence?
