Business Outlook

Pros

Job stability, pride in a quality product and knowledge that you're working at a profitable company. Hard workers will be rewarded with promotion (but not necessarily pay).

Cons

Senior management is very conservative and needs to get with the times. Just because something has worked for 100 years doesn't necessarily mean it can't be improved upon. The atmosphere is very controlled, and that starts with the micromanagement from the top.
