Pros

The internal culture and central pillars of the company are sound. The EVA bonus as a method of sharing the success, performance, and as an incentive is a good system that the company stands behind. Benefits are comparable to any mid-size company in the area. It does an excellent job of vetting and hiring top talent; people are its strength.

Cons

The first thing a technical employee needs to understand is that it is a marketing company that sells products designed and developed by large suppliers outside of North America (with the exception of cleaning formulations); they are not structured like other product OEMs (the ratio of technical or engineering roles is low when contrasted to business and marketing positions). Being in a technical role can be very frustrating as the company choses to pivot often which does not allow it to gain a return on its engineering assets or build on work done. "Process" is also considered a bad word given some internal history and therefore it suffers from operational efficiency issues when trying to develop new products.

Pros

The business remains one of the oldest family-owned companies in the US, that continues to see growth and success. There's transparency with results and we avoid the unnecessary fiscal exercises that are tied back to shareholder reporting with publically traded companies. The culture is one of respect and flexibility.

Cons

There are be some over conservatism at times, but the long history of success speaks for itself.
