Pros

- Executive leadership seems to have a solid idea where company is going. - ESOP has, in the past, been extraordinarily generous for participants

Cons

- Company is FILLED with long-time employees who refuse to consider new ideas, including managers. - Employees spread over four sites for cost savings, but hard to coordinate between all four and despite a "company first" motto each site has its own territorial issues and often won't work with others. - Challenging and outdated infrastructure - Perpetual concerns that Chicago office will close has created a toxic, unpleasant atmosphere there, with many fearing that their jobs will be eliminated or moved.

Pros

Employee stock ownership plan, that's all.

Cons

I just came back from two months off sick, to be told I'll be on a performance improvement plan / probation program next week. Not, welcome back, hope you're OK! What kind of company does that? Seems like a back door way of firing someone who's sick to me. Also : having to start at 7:30 am (no exceptions). Pay is on the low to average side. You have to work for bonuses (which means they aren't really bonuses.) Insurance is through themselves, not a major insurer.
