Pros

The people are very nice and the work is challenging and satisfying. The compensation is competitive compared to other companies when first hired

Cons

There is no work life balance, and management makes you feel guilty when you take your vacation time or have a doctor's appt. Most everyone is expected to work 50+ hours per week, including nights and weekends. People are required to do 2 or more jobs without promotion or compensation

Pros

Lots of work and growth because they go through multiple rounds of lays a year. So you get the "privilege" of filling their gaps

Cons

The 3 years I was there, they went through 4 rounds of lay offs. Management will tell you how great of a worker you are and how far you will go and then kick you to the curb once their vacation houses are put into jeopardy.
