Pros

Solid people on the factory floor, and respected heritage. Buck family was well liked.

Cons

Marketing, management, and office culture are unbearably stale. Terrible leadership, from the top down. The marketing department has a higher turn over rate than minimum wage jobs. There is glacially slow indecision, leadership bought expensive “company” fishing boats so the President and CFO can spend time fishing while claiming everyone else needs to cut costs, communication is word of mouth around the water cooler-style, and there is zero creative experience in the building. Do not work in the office if you value any camaraderie, fun, or respect.
