Pros

Great benefits (hard to beat). The work can be enjoyable. Can find good people to work in various departments. Nice Christmas party.

Cons

Low pay for most people, Executive level is lacking. The company says they are a local company but they are very mainland minded. Allow certain people to get away with multiple offenses that warrant termination. Uses people as scapegoats for the shortcomings of others. Rumors/gossip spread faster than junior high. If a group of people decide they don't want you around anymore then they start rumors and false accusations.

Its a fun company with beautiful ocean views all day. It's very unique company where you'll develop a very interesting skillset involved with this narrow market. Profit sharing, full benefits, and a great family discount on product.
