Pros

Bean's is extremely family oriented; offers time off for various outdoor activities; avid supporter of conservation; extremely committed to the community; brand recognition and quality; superior customer service; steadfast on core values; diversified work force; privately held company; 100% guarantee; the ability to try new job assignments on a 'seasonal' basis

Cons

Tough atmosphere for advancement; although crosstraining is given lip service it is virtually impossible to accomplish it; new pay structure that eliminates yearly raises; inconsistency among mid-level management; not at all unheard of to perform multiple job functions throughout the course of the scheduled work day and then be spoken to for a lacking "UPH" (units per hour)
