      Pros

      When the company does well, each employee receives an "extra pay day" and after being employed one year, employees receive company stock.

      Cons

      The managers have no idea how to treat people. Everybody is expected to stay at their desk, logged onto their computer, and managers monitor this via instant messaging. Delegation is a bad word, so if you are not senior management, you are just a secretary.

      Pros

      It refreshing to work with an organization so focused on doing the right thing for employees, customers and the community. The sense of pride that comes from being an employee-owner is apparent throughout the organization. Friday Lunch is a great benefit!

      Cons

      Parking is sometimes limited if there is an event on site and you may have a short distance to walk in the winter months to get to your building.

      Pros

      Interesting work, good people, serious focus on quality. I love the weekly Friday Lunch. The facilities are really nice. SEL is employee owned (an ESOP), which for people who stay for many years becomes an excellent retirement plan. Some of the projects that SEL is involved in are the kind that are incredibly cool from a humanitarian perspective.

      Cons

      Because we have a badged entry system, you can't have visitors very easily. If my mom wants to bring me a sandwich for lunch, she can't get in.
