Pros

Relationship based culture makes it feel like a family company "Staple" products make job security high There is inherent value placed on developing people. Compensation is at least average. Benefits are slightly above average.

Cons

The company values diversity but defines it narrowly (gender, race). This can lead to perceived diversity when everyone is actually quite similar in how they think. The best employees are sometimes forgotten. During the tough years, the company held back everyone equally instead of investing in the need-to-retain talent.

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.
