Pros

Monday mornings "all hands" meetings during which employees tasted food samples. There could be allot of potential....

Cons

Unpleasant workplace atmosphere, firm lacking in transparency and ability to deal directly with issues at hand, politics in accordance, crony culture, high turnover rate within the IT department, talented employees are considered a threat and then sidelined.

Pros

What I loved about this job is getting full ownership over my part of the business, and I know a lot of people stick around because they feel a similar passion and ownership. Even though the company is 25 years old, there are still many areas where a much work is needed and therefore great opportunity for new people to come in and make big impact.

Cons

No flexibility for employees to work from home when needed, and terrible PTO package. The family leadership is not transparent, makes questionable business decisions.
