Really? It was a combo of many things, but that was the main reason. Poor decisions made by the people who ran the place.

As a former employee the remodel was way over the top. They laid off a good percentage of the staff last year within a month or so after the remodel. They spent all this time & money remodeling certain areas, especially the top floor where the high up attorneys work and clients go, but left the areas for employees with unfinished plastered walls. The entire thing was a joke. I was lucky enough to leave before their demise.
