Pros

The scenery is exceptionally beautiful

Cons

The worst part of this company is the management. People are promoted into management positions based on who they know, who they are related to, and blatant favoritism. It is run as a high school clique instead of a business. Within the decade that I worked there I have personally witnessed bullying, embezzlement, retaliation, and lots and lots of favoritism. The executives don't really seem to be living in reality- wasting tons of money on completely nonsensical practices that fail miserably instead of actually paying a living wage to the front line employees that are really the lifeblood of the company. Don't bother going to Human Resources about any issues you see or have because it will be swept under the rug and you will be labeled a "problem employee" for the duration of your employment. Anyone I've encountered in management and above is sneaky and will throw you under the bus in a hot minute to make themselves look good. Also, when you do leave even if you give a notice and have been a model employee you will still get bad references. In fact, I had my entire medical history told to a potential employer (and yes, I will be retaining an attorney). Don't waste your time with this greedy, crooked company- you will never be paid your worth, you will never be appreciated, and unless you know or suck up to the right people you will never advance even if you are beyond qualified.
