Not what is used to be

Pros

Making own schedule, great people below management, insurance, PST

Cons

Micro management, no autonomy, cant move within the company although they stress you have a plan in place, management doesn't follow through, people get targeted and made feel uncomfortable enough to quit. Too much "in crowd" going on either you drink the Kool-Aid or you're out of the group

Pros

Profit sharing (if you can make it to 5 years), decent PTO, good benefits

Cons

Horrible Work life balance, too many processes, constant change of initiatives and strategies, to get promoted you have to go through a corporate dance (lobby to get on someone's bench, work on your "P.I.E" Performance, image and exposure), no accountability from internal partners
