Pros

Employee Ownership, remnants of what used to be a great culture still remain. Good 401K matching schedule. Ability to come in whenever you choose, no set working hours. Typical day for staff starts whenever they choose.

Cons

Poor leadership starting at the top. What used to be a structured environment is now the wild west of management and execution. The processes and procedures either are non existent or when they exist are simply ignored. Strategic planning does not exist. Employees find out the corporate direction in a newsletter. Vacation benefit is below par and below companies in the same trade space. Poor performance by corporate employees is either ignored or unknown to management. Pay cuts enacted for senior management to resolve financial shortfalls within the company, yet, investments for poorly planned and poorly performing sales initiatives go on. This company has continued to throw good money after bad ideas. A very demoralized staff.

Pros

CEO is very hands on with the company. Participates in events and gatherings a lot. you can tell he cares about his company. Pay is good. at least for this contract.

Cons

HR department. I can't say how much they are the worse. Why? you may ask. well, when you're required to fill out and return a document to them, and you do, and they acknowledge they got it. and a couple weeks later (through the same email chain you sent your documents to them from) they will ask why havent you sent your documents. then you have to point out they're emailing within the very chain of emails with the very document they're asking for that they originally acknowledge they received it. that's just one example. the biggest is submitting your state tax form only to have never been finalized and find that you never paid state taxes all year and left with a massive bill to pay. Never in my entire career have I ever dealt with a more incompetent (from what it seems) HR department. though it primarily stems from one individual than it does the entire department. FYI, benefits are just ok. nothing great.
