Pros

Great location. Good comraderie with coworkers. Clear vision, goals, and worker expectations. A family run business that rewards its employees based on objective measures rather than subjective opinions. Lots of opportunities to move up within the company. Employee expectations are reasonable. Salary is competitive.

Cons

Being a family run business low tier employees often have direct contact with the owners and upper management. While this can be an advantage it is often a disadvantage if mid-managers do not communicate goals, expectations and vision well. A good employee can suffer some hardships if his supervisor is weak or doesn't communicate well. The system can break down, etc.
