Pros

At one time a place of dedicated hard working people. There was a bonus, really good vacation time for long time employees, great benefits, pension, matching 401k.

Cons

Almost all of that is gone now. Done in by a lack of forward thinking. Many ideas were proposed but little was implemented until it was too late and too many good people walked or were pushed out the door.
