Pros

Pension and profit sharing are among the best in the area. Employee store provides huge discounts on not so perfect returned merchandise. Located in quaint maine town

Cons

Continuous downsizing turnover layoffs high stress highly competitive. Management lacks strategic focus and direction. No work home balance. Hard to engage as to where the company is going. Success despite this lack of management talent.
