Pros

Great employees in the rank-and-file and lower management, people who really care. Benefits are really good.

Cons

This private, family-owned company doesn't believe in using the latest software (in some instances software is more than a decade outdated), leading to a truly frustrating day-to-day employment experience. Pay raises are pathetic. Managers are incentivized to minimize annual pay increases. Human Resources is a joke. Get everything in writing during the hiring process. Promises made during hiring are often broken once you're employed. Poor work/life balance for the majority of employees. Religion permeates corporate headquarters. Weekly hour-long prayer meetings are held in the cafeteria during lunchtime, and managers often include Biblical quotes in emails. Learning who to "befriend" will get you a lot farther than actual hard work and commitment to the company's core beliefs. Having ideas and original thoughts are frowned upon; mediocrity is celebrated. They give gold stars to employees for doing things like filing a report on time. If you just want to exist and never grow or excel then this is the place for you.

Pros

Overall friendly coworkers . Slightly above average benefits if you include bonus. Nice 401k match. Rather calm environment if you mind your own business.

Cons

Hot tempered CEO who is convinced his greatness made the company. He tends to forget about all the hardworking employees. HR does his bidding and head of HR is never around. Change is not viewed positively. Company thrives on gossip and rose colored glasses. Always behind on hiring and turnover is much higher than most companies. No transparency.
