Pros

The people (Associates) - power of small teams - products making a difference - family atmosphere - nice modern and updated office and production facilities - still family owned and run - associate stock ownership - work life balance - so many products and divisions that you don’t need to leave the company to get a change in career - hard working blue collar production folks with advancement opportunities if you work hard and stay out of trouble - plant and production leadership team that actually care and want to make a difference - sponsorship - family CEO - hiring outside senior talent to help grow company - the people - most folks I work with I would invite over for Sunday dinner with my family !!!

Cons

Pay could be better but stock ownership, profit share checks, benefits and work life balance help to offset - understaffed in most places except for supply chain and operations (too many people there), doing way more with less people

Pros

This company truly used to be one of the best places to work for, but not anymore.

Cons

Barebones teams, revenue hungry, no sales support, no structure, poor strategies, and overall disjointed.
