Pros

Great pay and substantial increases and profit sharing Awesome people and culture Opportunities for growth abound

Cons

Past its prime already; news of cost cutting and mass layoffs makes me feel it was all downhill since the previous CEO (Brian Humphries) left. He really supported the employees during the height of the pandemic.
