Pros

Most of the people are good people.

Cons

- Below Average Pay - No Pay raises or cost of living adjustments - ever. (They won't even consider pay changes given the crazy inflation of last few years.) - Ever hear of the Peter Principal? They have managers that cannot manage people. - No opportunities for advancement unless willing to move. - Profit Sharing is a black box and most times pays out next to nothing. - High turnover and they do nothing about it. - Managers' compensation is at odds with how the team receives profit sharing. - Hiring new employees into roles they do not meet qualifications of. So, your title and pay will likely be the same of someone with half your experience.
