Pros
This is a friendly company that offers several areas for advancement. There are bonuses provided to employees at the end of each fiscal year, dependent upon meeting company revenue goals. Management is approachable and open to suggestions. They encourage team work and collaboration. There are opportunities to take seminar type courses related to the industry, which help to develop employee skills. The company offers good health benefits which include vision, dental and medical. In addition, the company offers tuition assistance for college that is helpful for employees interested in improving upon their skills and knowledge. For the most part, this has been a great place to work.
Cons
In the past 2 years, the company has gone through a series of changes related to the struggling economy. This has included a large number of layoffs, which unfortunately have created a sense of discomfort in the day to day working environment. Outsourcing has become a major focus, as the company attempts to cut overhead costs. Unfortunately FY09 appears to be the first year in a while that employees will not be receiving bonuses. Recently the company also had to discontinue their 401K matching. However again, this is an effort to continue being successful in a struggling economy. I think this will change in the next 1-2 years.
