Pros

Free snacks everywhere. Employee store provide deep discounts on most of the products they sell online.

Cons

Culture is extremely toxic, even within the HR department. Avoid at all cost. The "Respect at the Workplace" tutorial was given to employees every year but it was just so ironic because the way the company operates is the complete opposite of what the tutorial says. It's a total joke. No room for growth or internal development. They would rather hire someone from outside, wait until they become trained, then have them quit a few months later than to promote internally. Most employees are burned out from waiting for "the move" to happen. If you like putting out fires everyday, having no voice in any decision making, and watching coworkers accusing each other, then this is the place for you.

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.
