Pros

On site cafe, tuition reimbursement program, privately held, secure industry. Good opportunity to change positions if you are good at office politics or part of the "family". Onsite gym with nice facilities. Good if you are in sales.

Cons

Your trading job security for low pay, expensive benefits, micro managed disorganized chaos. little organization, lack of overall strategy, middle management micromanages, and plays the blame game. Inflexible, long work hours (50-70hrs per week) expected to travel for work on your own time and own dime then expense it (no company credit card) not employee friendly. Lack of respect for personal time, expected to answer emails while on vacation and weekends. You are basically working yourself to death to make the owners and their family more day with little return for your efforts.

Stressful and very cliquish.

Pros

If you are talented and in the right position you can make decent money as long as no event totally beyond your control wipes your bonus. I hear it's less intense outside of corporate but I can not confirm that.

Cons

It's like mid-evil Europe with every division and employee focusing on making bonus and covering their tracks to the extreme.Stressful environment makes it hard to get a good night’s sleep. There are a few small islands of good people trying to make it better but many of them are tired and approaching burnout. The company has been trying make it seem like it is getting betting with slight of hand window dressing but is little more than window dressing. Very much a boys club with were little diversity of gender or race in management. It's like the cliques in high school. Great if you are in but little opportunity to advance if you are not.

Pros

VERY stable company regardless of what is happening with the economy. Great product line/business and the Very top people know what they are doing.

Cons

Promotions are complicated by who you know instead of your abilities. Often I watched as people had been let go and given an incorrect reason for doing so. I watched people be driven out simply because a friend or family member wnated a particular role. Management also believes that it does as it sees fit without an explanation to the individuals they do it to.
