Pros

Culture: Truly inclusive and welcoming. Longevity: People stay here for decades, which creates a stable environment and a strong sense of community.

Cons

Leadership Mismatch: The company puts Sales people in charge of Engineering/Technical departments. Lack of Strategy: Because leadership lacks technical expertise, there is no cohesive strategy, forward-thinking planning, or understanding of what technical teams actually do. Box-Pusher Mentality: The company has not outgrown its logistics/reselling roots. Not for Innovators: If you want to work on the bleeding edge of tech, you will be stifled here.
