      Decent Company to work at

      Pros

      - most positions seem to have flexible(ish) work hours and many people are able to work from home. - small(ish) company so you get to work with and get to know many executive members, VP's, the CEO - not overly stressful- work/life balance is great! They are good about taking vacation days off and most managers don't mind if you take a few extra days off as long as they see that you work hard and are committed to your job.

      Cons

      - financial systems are outdated. The way that budgeting is done is very unsophisticated and causes issues because changes are not tracked so you don't know who to ask when you notice that a line in your budget was changed. - compensation slightly below average

      Pros

      Some of the people in lower-level employment are very friendly and great to work with but unfortunately they do not stay at the company very long because the company does not have any interest in retaining its talent.

      Cons

      The company has terrible insurance coverage, no profit sharing and virtually nonexistent employer 401k match. Worst of all, the company believes in employing two or three times more high-salary senior managers than it needs -- and very few of the senior managers have any business acumen or leadership skills. Mismanagement and lack of follow-through by senior-level managers and sales staff has caused the company to lose profitability.
