Pros
The wage is livable. Everyone was kind, though pretty vanilla. Managers were very reasonable. Very considerate work space and nice facilities (art work on the walls, extras like forks and aspirin in the break area, Friday beverages, event tickets) Owner is nice enough and is constantly present (despite being well past retirement) Company is very stable Good gender balance among employees
Cons
Some of the "perks" felt a bit patronizing. I would rather just be paid a better wage. Little movement in mid-upper management makes it hard to grow with the company and creates very high turnover in entry positions. I had a very high level of education and willingness to advance that was not recognized; it felt like they didn't expect me to stay. I was always bothered by the "Right to work"" flyers posted on the common board. I am a strong union and worker's rights advocate.
