Great people to work WITH, terrible to work FOR

Pros

People who work there are pretty great, if you have to work with them. HQ is in downtown Waynesboro, which has some pretty good restaurants for lunch.

Cons

Management really has no clue what is going on. More concerned with fixing low-hanging fruit that addressing any pressing issues w/ morale. Keeps asking more of it's teams despite providing fewer and fewer resources to do so.

Pros

If there are any pros to working here, I failed to notice them. Not that they would make a difference, working here would probably still be just as miserable.

Cons

The management expects employees to take on heavy workloads and meet high expectations, but is only willing to pay them an entry-level. They don't even bother treating any of them with respect! Unless you're that desperate for money, I would highly discourage working here at all.
