Pros

Genuinely good people as co-workers. Ethical business which focuses on continuous improvement across all fields.

Cons

Senior management is too focused on monthly numbers with an aversion to large swings in revenue. Senior management has layers upon layers of support staff and chooses to layoff revenue generating members instead.
