Great benefits. Promotion opportunities are abundant. Very strong culture. Company vehicle, fuel card in most positions, paid insurance. The company believes in lots of food at meetings. Innovative and invests in new technology.

Orders are directed from top, down to the field with ideas implemented in a office, they don't always make sense in the field. In some positions the workload is very heavy.
