A great place to work if you get along with your boss and coworkers, but mostly just your boss. So, pucker up – it's only reality.

The health plan and benefits are okay.

Pay is meh, so just expect it to pay your bills and you won't be disappointed.

Like I said, if you get along with your manager, then everything's peachy, so you'll need to do some "smoothing work". If you two don't get along, it's time to say goodbye because you're not going to last without manager backing.

If you think these new cultural initiatives are going to change company culture, then think again.

Think about how to properly motivate desired behaviors besides talk and more talk. Talk is cheap and costs nothing. You get what you pay for.
