Business Outlook

Pros

Great and nice people ! In the past, more individual autonomy/space to drive results. Great market position and customer relationships

Cons

Frequent changes of direction, very internally focused (lots of internal reports and presentations), moving to centralization with little understanding of the business in HQ. Strategy 20 years behind

Pros

Very good range of benefits. Medical, dental, and vision coverage was very good. 401K, they provided 3% of salary plus matched your savings for another 3% of your salary. They also had a good bonus structure based on your position. Vacation time is also based on position.

Cons

Salaried employees had a much better vacation package than hourly.
