      Pros

      Flexible schedule Upper management is very accessible and approachable. Birkshire Hathaway Co (financial backing)

      Cons

      Poor Regional Management Low compensation compared to direct competitors Not an innovative company. "Stuck" in their dated ways of thinking. Majority of employees are "senior". Do not hire many or enough young people.

      Pros

      Company is focused on making a quality product. Great if you benefit from nepotism and/or getting promoted for who you know instead of what you know.

      Cons

      Nepotism/cronyism/politics run amuck. You better be a "yes" man/woman. Upper managers make decisions strictly based on perceptions and not reality. The truth is viewed as "excuses" with most of the uninformed upper management. Extremely top heavy. The company will cut labor/cost to the bone at the plant (manufacturing) level, but retain and add less effective support staff at the corporate level. Middle/upper management become too involved in the decision making at plant level preventing dept. managers from effectively doing their jobs. Too many masters to serve.
