Pros

Excellent place to work until The company moved to SC.

Cons

Many people in upper management were aware of a very poor, mentally abusive manager but never did a thing about it. Due to me knowing to much about his discressions was let go when the opportunity came up to cut people. He ruined me as a confident employee and person.

Everyone in management manages up to cover their own butt. They claim to be a sales organization but they conveniently change the sales bonus structure.
