Pros

Well, the Camas facility is near a big neighborhood, so if you live around there, the commute is probably really nice....... yep, that's about it for pros.

Cons

Massive toxic environment. "College" attitude around the working area of groups. With cliques and groups of people that stick together. Upper employees (CEO, CFO, etc.) don't care about people on the floors below them. I have never seen a more micromanaging CEO. Growth really isn't hear, unless you literally start at an entry level position, or WANT to get in the "ol boys club" upstairs. I would be surprised if this company doesn't get sold or go under in the next 10 years.
