Pros

Very respectful work environment. Well grounded in respect for the employees. Very few poor managers. Almost all treat the people well. Very safe community to live in, but costly for the size and location of the town.

Cons

Company very risk avert. Poor attention to quality. Cost and ontime delivery drive most decisions. The customer who purchases the product is the last thing considered in this company. Design process requires multiple people to approve changes and is very slow. One person saying no can stop a design unless it saves the company $, then nothing can stop it. They are not flexible about change. Slow to respond to the field complaints. Designs are classic but not much true innovation. Managers are mostly "home grown" and therefor do not have external experience.

Pros

Friendly and professional work environment Great direct sales manager Gave tools or expense account to get the job done Took care of the end user/customer nice perks when it came to training events at corporate office excellent lunches from the college on special events --- good use of community

Cons

district managers need ethics training micro managing on their largest account put their eggs in one basket with one big box analyzed too much which led to paralysis role played during training sessions and didnt see that not all employees learn in that fashion asked for feedback on everything but did not make changes quick enough diversity keep stale, status quo people in positions that should have been asked to part ways
