Pros

A closeknit mostly family owned business that has been called one of the ten best places to work for in the Bay Area, California. Very good benefits like profit sharing, 20% buying company stock, health benefits.

Cons

The company used to "beat to it's own drum" but it looks like it's been sucked into being lean and "mean". I don't know if that's because of investor pressure or just the way companies are doing business in these harsh economic times.

Pros

I love my co workers and the ability to make my customers happy. Benefits are alright and I do like the products.

Cons

Modern marketing is non existent and the company has been taken over by sweater vest tech bros who feel phony at best. This company is too large to innovate or be nimble, yet too small to acquire new things to sell. Salaries are just so low now that I might need to leave, then come back just to get a pay raise. I’m seeing similar jobs posted for 20% more base than I make 10 years in. No transparency on advancements and annual raises do not reflect effort and making too close to plan on sales just sets you up for failure in the next year. I’d say use this company for a few years then move on.
