Pros

Left when CEO Tom Johnstone retired. President alrik danielson ruined the company. New guy, I don’t know, but doesn’t understand or come from industry. The brand used to give access to customers and be perceived as leading, not anymore and not sure you can fix it.

Cons

Lost its direction when CEO Tom Johnstone left. Went from a leader, value based differentiating manufacturer to a let’s compete on price and volume. Industry (customers and Channel partners) do not respect them anymore. The smart good people left and went to competitors.

Pros

Great benefits, 8% 401,k match, great health insurance

Cons

They do not pay men and women equal, they pay new hires more, they won't upgrade systems and expect employees to work 12+ hour days for close due to so many system limitations and the "robots" they have to post JEs are the bane of all accountants.... Why we have to wait 2-8 hours for a JE to post is a joke. Their work around is to have someone in another country work even longer hours to post it manually....you are a machine not a person to them.
