Pros

No pressure work environment, The management team is very easy going for the most part. Product is well known to be one of the best of its kind.

Cons

Very lean, hand to mouth manufacturing, but infrastructure is not completely setup for it. Management tends to switch focus and priorities too often and often without fair warning.

We understand this was not your experience, and appreciate your candid review.
