Pros

The company promotes from within. I’m blessed with a hardworking crew. We’re so occupied that the hours seem to fly by. We have the proper technology to perform our jobs well. Upper management keeps the communication lines open. Specifically, HR is always available. I had the wonderful experience of being mentored by my former boss and am now given the chance to pay it forward. Competitive pay and perks that include: 401K, health and wellness benefits, and PTO. I also find it a great convenience that parking is always available at HQ.

Cons

No. Everything’s good as it is. I especially appreciate my team for not giving me any headaches.
