Pros

The company will promote from within. Layoffs are pretty much unheard of so you will have job security.

Cons

The managers in the company have a culture of not rocking the boat and not reporting bad news up through channels. Most are promoted from lower ranks and the sole criteria seems to be keeping the boss above them happy. Bad news is never welcome and they are never encouraged to offer alternate ideas - lest they be accused of not being a "team player". Employees are afraid to offer new ideas and afraid to let managers know when they see problems - since there is a "kill the messenger" mentality. This really stifles new ideas and creativity and makes working there difficult at times.

Pros

Living in Erie, PA is the only perk about working at this place. Go to any other city in the USA and you will have companies that give bennies just as good as Erie. Just because they are the only one (with HQ) in town, they've done a good job of brainwashing people into thinking that it's the best (ie ONLY) place to work!!

Cons

It's a small town with a small/mid-sized publicly traded company, so the problems become apparent. You have several key executives making 7 figures next to (mostly) administrative staff making $30-50,000.
