the people, used to be a god place to work, benefits while they last, sort of trying to minimize layoffs

Pros

Great staff to work with. Benefits are good.

Cons

The pay is very low. It’s hard to advance and you don’t make a decent salary unless you’re in a very high position. The lower positions that have lower pay do most of the work.
