Pros

Very laid back culture and opportunities are available for growth.

Cons

There is no strategic plan being followed. Managers have been in their positions for years and are basically collecting a check.

Pros

Solid Company with excellent products. Great work/life balance. Great benefits. Excellent reputation in the industry.

Cons

Surprisingly, this company does not seem to learn how to cope with the ups and downs of the industry. More efficiency can be implemented and maintained during good years (Example: Too many people have access to company credit cards.). Other downside: Government-like mentality!!!
