Pros

Most of the employees are friendly and can be very helpful.

Cons

The middle management makes rash decisions and creates chaos for the rest of the company. The thought process for these decisions only slows down efficiency and every project is compromised because of this. There is also a "good ole boy" club that is based on favoritism and not your actual performance. Think twice before accepting a job here because the person that hires you will not be there in 6 months to back you up.

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of the people who actually do the work here are great. Many employees have been here for 10-20+ years and it's most likely because this is an easy place to work if you don't want to be challenged, promoted, recognized for good work/ideas, etc. If you show up, do some work, don't cause problems, and go home - you could fly under the radar here forever.

Cons

There's absolutely no upward mobility. They hire Vice Presidents here 2-1 to workers, which I find hysterical. Ergonomics is a topic that goes unmentioned here. The working population is mostly age 50+. You can imagine what kind of values and ethics come along with that kind of group.
