Pros

We had a great working team with dedicated departments with specific functions. We may not have liked EVERY coworker we had, but there were very hardworking dedicated employees there and we all got along pretty well. Made a great group of friends during my tenure there.

Cons

Pay is too low. Annual raises were too low. Practically a slap in the face for all the hard work you do. I did the job of 4 people and barely made over $12 after my 9 year tenure.

Pros

Great office location. Close to the mall. Lots of eating places around. Nice office building.

Cons

No room for growth. Low pay. No team spirit. Expects so much from employees but give nothing in return. Some of the people on the team feel as if they are superior to others and talk to them in disrespectful tones. Younger employees are treated like high school students.

Pros

Good pay/benefits. It is a very comfortable atmosphere. Management shows that they care and there are fun in-office activities scheduled from time to time to give back to employees. Working here feels like I'm making a difference and keeping workplaces around the nation safe from both a physical and integrity/data standpoint.

Cons

Minor con -listing only because it is required field: Could use a bit more staff during busier times of year.
