Pros

Not many pros I can come up with except they are lucky enough to have a few good people still working for them.

Cons

This company is without a doubt a sinking ship, and the only ones to blame are ownership and plant management. A large number of high quality people have left in the last 3 years due to extraordinary plant management, and engineering management incompetence. Product quality has fallen to extremely low levels in the last 7 years. They are losing customers at an alarming rate. This once proud leader in their field, can't get 15% of their jobs completed on time, and the worst part is that they don't seem to care. Pay/merit raises have averaged well below 2% for the last 8 years, and benefits have dropped off significantly. Morale is extremely low in all departments as employees wonder why the business is being run in to the ground literally. Little chance for advancement, and you won't see much of a pay increase if you are lucky enough to be promoted.

Pay - annual raises are bare minimum, don't even match the rate of inflation High turnover Benefits (PTO) - After 5 years, you gain 1 additional week of vacation No WFO opportunities NO Growth Outdated (Still relies on piles of paper, no recycling, have to CLOCK in and OUT everyday even if you are SALARY! Just now beginning to remodel old office spaces and provide better computers HR doesn't take your concerns seriously because we are all a "family" and should just talk things out with management
