      An engaging and challenging company/industry

      Pros

      Family owned and operated. Somewhat flat organization which allows an emboldened employee who wants to make changes do so if the potential improvement is proofed and validated. As a 6 yr employee, I have seen the changes in the organization. Is there room for improvement, absolutely, but that is true everywhere.

      Cons

      A pro can also be a con, because it is somewhat flat, there is only so far you can go up. Process and getting software heavy, which at times causes pain points for both us an the customers.

      Pros

      The beauty of this company is that you will be working with "salt of the earth" people and will not experience the typical office politics you see in most companies. They want to do the right thing and want employees who are truly helpful and want to make the company even better. It is also great that working for a company of this size, you have a great deal of autonomy to do what you need to do and ideas for improvement are always welcome. There isn't a mindset of "well...that's the way we do things around here" like I've experienced in large well-known companies. Chuck Jacobus (CEO) is currently embarking on a plan to build a company culture that is positive, fun, and one that focuses not only on the customer, but the employee experience as well. As with anything, these things can take time, but it is so refreshing to see a CEO take such a focus on employee culture and holding leaders accountable for both performance and behavioral standards.

      Cons

      The only cons I see is that some of the systems are outdated and that the level of sophistication among some leaders could be improved. There is always work to do in any company, but given the goals of the CEO, this should come along soon.

      Pros

      Free coffee in the kitchen. Close to a park with wildlife. Good people in many areas that want to make the company succeed.

      Cons

      In contrast to a previous post that was clearly written for better ratings, the experience that I had was not positive. It was very clear that the sales organization was in charge of every aspect of the business and the leadership in that area was not up to the challenge. There was no consistent direction and the strategy would change based on the latest book that the CEO has read. If you have a desire to be recognized for solid work and are trying to gain solid experience to grow in your career, this is not the place. If you prefer a fraternity type environment, then this is your dream company.
