Pros
Basic 9-5 hours, standard PTO, standard tasks on the day to day depending on your job. Insurance coverage is basic, 401k contribution is basic but lower than desired. Typical office job, so not so much a list of "pros" as a list of baseline expectations from working for a company. At the end of the day, it is simply a job. If you are lucky, those who are on the same level as you, are solid people and make working that simple job, feel a bit more human than it otherwise would. Having employment means security - to an extent - so at least having employment here, gives you that much.
Cons
Pay is below industry standard for how long you may have been working for the company, or hired from another with a good amount of experience you're bringing with you. Health insurance rates (especially for single households) are atrociously expensive. Bonuses are minimal or nonexistent, with pay raises clearly scraped from the bottom of the dregs. Here, you are a grunt expected to save the company on a day to day basis for people who do not know what they are doing, nor do they care. Office environment is tense, due to the upper crust constantly visiting their multiple subsidiaries' offices for optics, and to oversee the cubicles. There is also a lack of honest communication and frankly, the more exclamation points and bold font used in their company wide emails, the more you should be concerned and not take what they say, at face value. There is a thing and easily seen through facade of business integrity, and an expectation you will follow their "5 Rules" mantra and that is somehow enough for a company to succeed with. Getting responses from department heads is near impossible with several refusing to respond at all, causing jams in project approval and this backs up shipment dates and meetings with buyers. The HR department is a joke, has no idea what they are meant to do, and has responded to group inquiries about 401ks and health insurance with "Good luck!" or a .PDF of how to make an account on Voya. Unless you are in the upper ranks of the company, you can expect to be treated like a number meant to make more money for the company, than a person who probably cares about the work they're doing. Their management of their people and their products is nonsensical and confusing. If anything, Backyard Products is in the business of company acquisition, not production and manufacturing outdoor goods. If you get a job here, use your time of employment to find other work, while you have the security of the paycheck from Backyard. You are worth more than working for these people.
