Business Outlook

Pros

The company went through a couple cycle of up and down in sales. It provided a great setting to learn how to quickly react to both upside and downside.

Cons

Company was not able to grow the top sale revenue despite some good new products. Career opportunity therefore is limited due to lack of growth.

A great place to grow your career

Business Outlook

Pros

Small company size enables employees to get your hands in many projects and gain lots of experience. Great employee attitude/humor. Good compensation, full benefits. Approachable Executive Management.

Cons

There is an odd mix of a lack of organization, but then a die hard adherence to process (when there is one). The mood of the company can be down at times after a bad quarter, but it also bounces back when we are doing well.
