Pros

Overall, a company that means well. Started as a small business with good core values, and has tried to maintain those as it grows. Lots of long-time (20+ years) employees, a stable company, and a market leader with rapid growth. Good with providing training and lots of opportunities for internal promotions.

Cons

Compensation not on par with industry averages, and a few "roadblocks" in middle management. Some managers are better than others, but some fail to recognize or work to retain and/or reward talent.
