Pros

They really invest a lot of time in trying to do the right thing. If you take the time to speak up they will listen. I enjoy the people I work with and the career path I have before me.

Cons

Others in the company tend to focus on negative things and try to create drama. If you see a problem report it, don't gossip about it and keep droning on and on.

Pros

If I find any pros I will gladly tell someone about them, in the meantime none, run away unless you're desperate for work and need a paycheck.

Cons

Low wage, raise percentage increases guarantee you never make any money unless you're management for extended period of time. They call "spifs" a way to pad your check but half the ESPs cost as much as a new product. Don't expect too much advancement within this company most managers don't look at seniority, they decide themselves whether you are fit to be part of their "leadership" team.
