Pros

You get a lot of sick days

Cons

If you don't like change, you'll love this place. Everything at this company is behind the time from employee benefits to technology to the products offered to consumers. Management is slow to react and change because "this is the way we've always done it." There are very few people in the company that are proactive or have an urgency about even getting the most minute of tasks completed. In a nutshell, the ownership and long-time leadership are too consumed being impressed with themselves and their history than thinking about keeping up with the rest of the industry and changing with the times.

Pros

1. Decent compensation. 2. Some interesting products.

Cons

1. Leadership is very negative and focused on demoralizing the staff. 2. Zero work/life balance: Paid time off is similar to companies from the 1980's: 2 weeks/year until you've been there for 4 years. Then 3 weeks/year years 4- 14. 3. Antiquated company that doesn't embrace technology. They exist today simply through acquisition only and force a negative culture that drives out anyone with positive self worth. 4. Senior management would be better served working 3rd shift at a auto manufacture. 5. Zero concern for business re

Pros

Work day is 8:00-4:15 and pay is above average. Cafeteria is decent and security is friendly. Can think of no other pros.

Cons

Outdated systems, operations models and overall mindset from management. Employees gossip in the open. Benefits are severely outdated. PTO is almost non existent
