Great company prior to the 2008 market crash
Customer Service Professional (Former Employee), Minneapolis, MN – May 4, 2013
After that, everything became about money and the bottom line. They stopped caring about employees. It was easier for them to let an employee leave for better opportunity elsewhere than retain good employees and help them grow within the organization.

The hardest part was interviewing someone I knew I couldn't move on to the next level, especially when I knew they really wanted to give it a try.
Reaching my goals, the company goals and receiving the recognition for a job well done – less
