Pros

If you need a job right out of college, or want to parlay it into a lucrative consulting gig, then Epic is the place to start. It's not a career, though; it's a job. The pay is fantastic if you're thinking of a forty-hour week, but it becomes a lot less attractive once you settle into sixty-hour weeks.

Cons

Judy is, to be polite, eccentric.

She will happily talk about not buying a Mercedes because it would send the wrong message (her earning money off others' hard work), but has no issues riding her horse down the road in front of the campus, holding up traffic, or discussing how she recently purchased a firetruck for the campus.

There is also a strong dislike of any idea that doesn't originate from on high.

Advice to Management

Lighten up. You're making money. Maybe you could serve wine at your boring little anniversary dinner, or not lecture people about their decisions off the clock.
