Used to be a great place to work

Sales/marketing

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is above average for the area. Friendly coworkers.

Cons

Management has no idea what people actually do, therefore they have a distorted view of what is essential. Company invests heavily in manufacturing equipment, but not their sales/support staff. "Family" members are allowed to pick their "favorites". If you disagree with them, you are eventually eliminated.
