Pros

Friendly workforce. Flexible. Great place for working parents. ESOP is a bonus.

Cons

More management training for leaders who have been with the company >10 years. They could use some enhancements and updates. Don't promote people into leadership roles just because they have the technical skills. People skills are just as important.

Pros

Employee Stock Ownership Plan AND a 401(k) Plan, Good benefits, experienced management team that combines stability with an entrepreneurial spirit. Company seems to be focused in the right areas to continue growing.

Cons

Company has high expectations from its workforce, but I'm not sure that qualifies as a negative.

Business Outlook

Pros

Proactive culture that values individual contributions, encourages professional growth and promotion from within.

Cons

Some benefits are not comparable to other companies in the same sector and account for more out of pocket employee expenses, which must be factored into salary for a total compensation bottom line.
