      Pros

      They are a design leader. They offered many valuable learning experiences over the course of my employment. Paid a good salary for a rural location (but still under market value). Historic charm. A long-standing American manufacturing company (despite most manufacturing happening in other parts of the world).

      Cons

      Traditional culture with transactional work relationships. Individual competition is encouraged vs team collaboration which results in a cut-throat environment. This is evidenced by their highest employee award of the BOLD individual presented yearly by the CEO and the “whatever it takes” award. Status quo products despite innovation claims. Nearly no state of the art working conditions. Poor quality products despite design leadership. Politically charged ways of working means half of the effort you give will simply be to navigate/survive the culture.

      Pros

      If you are okay supporting a business that is focused on building wealth instead of developing skills and business understanding of objectives, then you will fit right in as long as you learn two important phrases "Great idea boss" and "Yes sir, I will carry out all of your plans so you will be recognized by upper management". DON'T ROCK THE BOAT!

      Cons

      I have already posted a con, but noticed another con that other posts point to. I read about disappointment of no remote work anymore. Remote work is difficult; you have a hard time building collaboration, teamwork and trust in a remote situation. But as I look at myself, I am on-site and love coming to work - would rather be around my team and have a constant pulse on the culture where I can address any issues immediately. Ask yourself, other than the loss of commute time and being in the comfort of your own home - why do people prefer to work from home. Many times, it can be due to avoiding the stress and anxiety that exists at work. Now ask yourself, what would make people want to be in the office versus at home. Whether you are remote or in person, not wanting to come into the office may be a sign that you are not happy and lacking fulfillment from your current circumstances.
