Pros

Great Benefits, Great Pay, being part of a company where employees are treated like its greatest resource, very rewarding

Cons

It is a challenge, if you are looking for a job to coast in this is not the place. WE have very high standards and it is very difficult. Not a job for the lazy, do the bare minimum person.
