"Great company that was able to not only let me learn but also lead. The teams and people are friendly and very supportive with an emphasis on your own growth and performance. EmberJS is known to be one of the hardest frameworks out there to pick up from scratch, but I was able to get things up to speed with the support of the very supportive UI team and my managers."

"I've worked for this company for a little more then a year, the worst part about the job is upper management, the district manager constantly pushes "loyalty" down our throats and threatens to write us up if we do not make it. There's a lot of talk but absolutely no action to back it up. Leading by example is a huge motto if only upper management would actually follow this as well. There is not a lot of positive reinforcement. Huge amount of turnover in management. Can't say too much good, great discount."
