Pros

The company offers great benefits and good vacation time even for new employees, and is financially stable even in poor economies.

Cons

The salaries compared to other companies are not stellar, and the bonuses for mid-level employees are nothing to write home about. Work-life balance leans towards more work and less life. Benefits and perks vary greatly from employees working at Field locations to those working at the corporate headquarters.

Pros

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
