Pros

Good work life balance, good medical benefits, good people to work with, Provide real unique value to customers

Cons

The company has outgrown family leadership. The sons are smart and want to see the company grow but don't have the ability or experience to make that happen. They also have no sense of what it means to lead or how their actions/words impact the company - good or bad. You cant hide in your office, send out an email about a change you want to make (in culture, on-line systems, CRM, ERP etc) and really believe that everyone will get in line and your job is done. Very cheap with salary, raises, commissions. Although they have good benefits, they over value them in the overall compensation and pay well below the market

Pros

- Supportive owners and a generally well-run company that takes care of its employees - Uncapped bonus structure - Good medical benefits and work life balance - Some genuinely good colleagues - Don't worry about how well/bad you perform; rewards/promotions/pay adjustments are definitely not based on these - A comfortable place for those planning for retirement or not focused on career growth. If you are seeking career progression, opportunities are limited unless you navigate internal politics wisely.

Cons

- Blatant double standards; at times it feels like a “cowboy town”. - Recognition can goes to undeserving individuals. More qualified individuals are often overlooked despite being more capable. - Unofficial authority can be abused by some from the “inner circle.” - Experience can vary depending on your gender - Certain toxic and petty leadership running the show; if you didn't feel it, you are part of it. - Micromanagement due to insecure leadership - Ambiguity at its peak; certain leadership is unclear what he/she wants and try to shrink away from making direct decisions so as to have a scapegoat. - Gaslighting and undermining your contributions is the culture in some places. - Meetings are not conducted in English at times; insensitive to those who doesn't understand native languages, not that leadership cares. - There will be times you are required to remind people to do their jobs (yes).
