Pros

Accuracy of Glassdoor ratings, except for the 4 or 5 star ratings that look suspiciously written by HR Paid on time (well, except that one time... you all know what I'm talking about) Building is being renovated (as slow as possible to spread out the cost over multiple years) Hardworking men and women (although there is no choice) Career opportunities (getting to do your own job and your co-workers job because they left) If you don't like your co-worker, will get a new one in six months. Cafeteria is nice, Health Care plans are nice Certain departments are tolerable (or even enjoyable) to work in; others, I would not wish on my worst enemy

Cons

Many company systems are broken beyond repair More turnover than Sweet Perfections bakery Below market pay and pay increases "Work life balance" is all work, no life Could be terminated or not have positions filled in your department so that quarterly numbers look better

Pros

This is a company with fire in it's soul and gasoline in it's veins. Constant innovation is now developing some of the coolest products, and continues to develop a still hungry market for awesome-built heavy-duty stuff. The people who work here are passionate fighters, and even when the mountain is high, they are looking at how to move faster.

Cons

All companies have internal problems, so do they. But they work to fix them, do not place blame - and move on.
