Pros
If you're not working in manufacturing, its a good place to learn many different skills. Because the company is so small and lean, you're often given projects that aren't necessarily in your job description.
Cons
Cranial Technologies was purchased by an investment group in early 2012. Since then, managements' main focus has been providing maximum financial return for the investment group, often at the cost of the employee. Since the purchase, management decided to not offer cost of living increases to employees (as was traditional, each year,) they have eliminated the bonus program, they even went as far as changing out bathroom tissue for a less expensive alternative. They've also slashed back on health benefits, putting more of the financial burden on the employee - even while the company is enjoying record revenues as each month passes by. Employees were denied cost of living adjustments and bonus plans, but at the same time, each individual in management received handsome bonus checks and salary increases. This has created a "management vs everybody else" mentality at the company. This mentality is having lasting effects. In just the last year, over 50% of the front office staff opted to find a new employer.
