Rookie-level Management at best

Pros

Very good people who really care about their work. Fairly good salaries depending on your position. Average benefits

Cons

100% Terrible management at the corporate level. They have no pulse on the market they are operating in, how to grow business, or what it takes to become anything other than sub-par to average. The top management far too conservative to innovate in a manner that will yield long-term growth. They cow-tow to the stockholders and have zero backbone. There is not a leader in the entire organization. The mid-level managers (particularly at the Director level) are utterly useless. They have less of a backbone then the corporate senior staff which creates an environment where, under no circumstance will they advocate for their employees or a strategy that is complimentary to growth.

Pros

Casual dress code, good people who have been there a long time.

Cons

Going thru a major shift currently for a earn and win at all costs culture. Recently cut a lot of staff and more staff are looking to leave. Poor benefits, no bonus program to speak of, and vacation is capped at 3 weeks...forever.

Pros

It's the oldest registered company in California.

Cons

It reads pretty, but they do not live it...values are non existent. It has become a soulless and non caring organization. They furlough salaried employees without pay to hit their numbers. So much for employee engagement. It's now disengagement.
