Not perfect, but one of my favorite jobs

Pros

Has a small company vibe but has the job/financial security of a bigger company since they have been in business over 100 years. Most coworkers are good people. Few bad apples here just like anywhere, but most are good. Not as formal and annoying as big enterprises or government, where there are policies and procedures for every little thing. Lot of people have been working here for many years, so that shows it is a good place overall.

Cons

Sometimes, people do things their own way instead of what's best for the company. It can be hard to implement change even when it is needed because some people are resistant to change.

Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

You could potentially be harassed or more likely belittled by the all white male leadership team. I was talked to like a little girl while employed with FJM.
