Pros

Drive to work is relatively close to home and traffic is not too much of an issue. 401k available, dental available, medical available, and vision benefits available. Company matches your 401k dollar for dollar up to 4 percent. Some sectors are given the opportunity to share in the profit at the end of each year. The company provides a new percent goal each year that ranges from 1 percent to 4 percent. Of course, the 4 percent goal can never be reached. Average bonus received each year normally runs around 2.5 percent against the employees yearly salary. New employees receive 2 wks vacation after 1 year and accrues additional hours for each year worked thereafter

Cons

cronyism and nepotism exists among the management

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
