Business Outlook

Pros

Support from management. I feel like I have a great chance to learn more and develop professionally and personally. The compensation is fair and the process for advancement is very effective. I enjoy my job and my manager allows me the freedom to explore other opportunities within the company.

Cons

I feel that sometimes there is a disconnect between company goals/objectives and individual performance of mid-upper level management. There is still a "good 'ol boy mentality" that makes it very difficult to break into.
