Pros

The company is great and pays well. They have a great vision and treat everyone well. There some difficult people although all companies have them.

Cons

Since it is an older company it's currently going through some transitions. As 20 year employees retire they are having to be replaced with new people who want to change the way old things were done. So some challenges come up
