      Pros

      Great company with great leadership. Utah region is growing and has a lot of support from upper management in making it become a major market.

      Cons

      Nothing really. This company is one where you get what you put in. If you're a hard worker you will be rewarded.

            Pros

            Allows freedom to perform job duties independently. Motivated employees can advance.

            Cons

            Bonus structure is a lie that is discovered after first or second year. No raises to go along with increased job duties. Lack of administrative support and leadership from upper management.

              Pros

              Definite separation of departments and business function. This is sometimes negative.

              Cons

              It seems like a lot of time an effort is spent pleasing upper management and catering to non-business critical needs for them.

                Upper management was indecisive and absent.

                    Pros

                    Company was once a great place to work and employees cared about one another and their job. The pay for most office and management positions is above average for similar jobs with competitors.

                    Cons

                    Morale of employees has really suffered with all of the corporate changes lately. Changes are coming too quickly and without any warning. Employees are told that jobs are safe only to be eliminated shortly after. No communication with employees from upper management leaves employees to speculate and rumors to evolve.

                        Pros

                        Room for growth is realistic and achievable so long as you Manage your business units and employees appropriately. Benefits and pay are within competitive standards. Upper Management takes yours and clients concerns seriously with progressive steps to improve where necessary.

                        Cons

                        Work life balance can be a struggle depending on your account and it's operations, employees, client, etc. Possible above average turn-over rates for this industry. A lot of travel normally necessary in own transportation, however mileage is paid bi-weekly.
