Pros

Get coupons if Sales people like you and remember to bring them when in town. If you are liked you can do no wrong. Changes since split years ago, haven't hurt sales yet. Do things the same so you don't need to adapt to change. You know when the pressure will hit since it is driven by the month.

Cons

Everyone is afraid of the new owners in management. No one above you makes mistakes. managements plans are "perfect" then the bills come in and they look for who messed up. If Sales guy doesn't care about your dept. then you get killed for not doing your job if things aren't cleared in time.

Run away!

Pros

Beautiful building and surroundings, in-house cafe with healthy affordable food.

Cons

Extremely paranoid company, high turnover up to the executive ranks. CFO of the division I worked for was replaced 4 times in 6 years. Second in command was called relentlessly by headhunters. Relied very heavily on tons of printed reports that few people understood. High security because the power that be moved people in the growing areas around like chess pieces and some became very irate, one time in the past I was told one came down from Salinas with a gun looking to make trouble (that was in the early 1990s I heard). All in all a very unpleasant experience and I would never work there again.

Pros

There is a small in house gym facility. You get 5 servings for vegetable & fruits every day. Fruits in the morning and vegetables in the afternoon. People are friendly and nice facility to work in. Beautiful waterfall area for break time.

Cons

No training for employees, no career advancement opportunity. They just want to do what you do and stay where you are. No internal transfers or cross training. I worked there for 4 years but literally feel like I didn't learn much. Not a good place to start your entry level position.
