What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Management should be more open minded and listen to their staff members. Recognize someone's hard work more often; this could go a long way.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

What did you not like about this institution?
Management doesn't like to take advice or ideas unless someone high on the food chain suggests it. There is little to no time for a life outside the firm. There is very minimal promotion and growth within the firm, even if you've been here longer than ten years.
