Pros

The idea behind the company and the values the "Family" still believes in (or not?). Some colleagues Health benefits.

Cons

No meritocracy. HR doesn't exist, at all. The "Family" doesn't have a clue of what happens in their company. As soon as you leave, you understand how much your career can fly!
