Pros

People are passionate about what they do, if they're where they want to be. Everyone is generally good to work with and easy to communicate to.

Cons

Company seems to want to spend a lot of money in many areas including hot shot new hires instead of training and compensating current employees. Expect an endless list of priority one projects, difficult to manage family and work like at times, little to no advancement opportunities from within, management under values most of it's employees, management fails to solve reoccurring problems.

Pros

Easy job on day to day tasks. But that’s only because management is severely lacking. Decent pay, company vehicle, typical benefits (health care, 401k, etc.)

Cons

Management structure with No direction, No focus or a real understanding of what influences end user buying decisions. They don’t even perform a basic market swat analysis to understand what they could be doing better. Why? Because we invented this stuff, and have been doing it for 110+ years do we know it all. Well then, enjoy your 30% market share there buddy.
