Pros

If you want a challenging career that will push you to solve complex problems while giving you the flexibility and freedom to explore possible options, then ECRS is perfect for you. I fully believe my skills wouldn't have developed as rapidly in any other company. The biggest benefit I can think of working at ECRS is the balance between work and personal life, which I believe is up to each person to embrace. It's easy to get heavily involved with work, but ECRS gives plenty of flexibility, and encouragement, to balance out your life. I have a great sense of pride of the work I do at ECRS, I feel a strong sense of ownership in my job and that can be felt across the whole company of passionate co-workers. There's a reason why the company has held onto so many employees for the long-term.

Cons

ECRS is striving to make changes in a ever evolving technological world. These changes can be painful in times. There are processes that could be better implemented, which I believe are already well underway. Base compensation could be better, but with that said there are plenty of opportunities for hard-work rewarded with a very generous bonus

Pros

Some of the greatest people in Boone work here. It allows you to live in a lovely (albeit expensive) area. A lot of people care a lot about what they do and no one is slacking. Pay is decent for the area and industry. If you like job security, no one ever stops needing groceries, and ECRS supports that industry!

Cons

Leadership suffers from alignment being related to a person rather than a set vision, goal or target market. Meaning whatever the CEO desires at that time is most important or valuable. Regardless of if that new desire goes against some previous thing. Success can be defined by being liked by the CEO or disliking someone not in good graces, or blaming someone for a problem that happens rather than shared ownership. If you are okay with politics or blaming others before anything bad falls on you, you can succeed, and heavily. One instance that stood out to me, was watching a particular individual petition against a decision/direction made on a project, be told to disagree and commit to the CEO alignment call. They did so, and then got blamed several months later, for letting the decision get made. In addition they were told, if they disagreed so heavily they should have challenged, and clearly "did not care about their job or company enough to push back". It was appalling to watch. This company could be great instead of mediocre. It has access to so much talent.
