Pros

Nice Cafeteria. Parking lot is well-lit. Building has an interesting shape. There is a Caribou Coffee on site.

Cons

It's hard to put into words what an awful company this has become ever since the Thomson family purchased it an the family patriarch died. The only thing that the Thomson children want is to maximize how much money they can squeeze from every resource and human being regardless of how callous and mean-spirited. For example, every single year, they have been cutting staff and making the remaining people do more to make up for the employee shortage. For jobs that are critical, they have been offshoring them to India and making the current staff in Eagan train their Indian replacements. I have seen so many co-workers sitting and crying at their desks while the company brings in outside consultants to help boost morale with condescending cheerleaders to make you feel guilty for your own unhappiness. "Where is YOUR 'mood elevator' today?" A decade ago, we had nice cubicles where we had room to work. Over time, individual workspaces were reduced, and reduced, and reduced, to a point now where you are not even allowed to have a picture of your kids at your desk. And for what??? All that space that once allowed people to have a comfortable work area now just sits empty. Literally empty. Where the workstations used to reside have been turned into nothing but empty carpeted areas. It is clear that this historic company is just being carved up at sold at auction so the Thomson kids can live extravagant lifestyles—completely numb to the suffering they cause their employees. STAY AWAY!!!

Great environment and people. Lots of overtime available and bonuses during busy season.

Cons

I really enjoyed this job so the only con I can think of is that it is seasonal.
