Pros

-- Very good compensation compared to other Central Valley companies -- Fun environment, friendly, people-focused -- Professional organization, successful, award-winning, strong brand recognition -- Great opportunities to grow professionally within the company -- Longevity of employees, some working with company 10 to 35 years - very stable -- New opportunities to work with latest technology, company not stuck in a technical rut at all -- Progressive use of technology, great way to keep technical skills sharp if you are in the IT group -- Recognition for work well done

Cons

-- Would love more opportunity to tele-commute -- Company is too selective when hiring people when resources are needed -- Sometimes a little political, but then, all companies are from my experience

Pros

* Historically, a company people were genuinely proud to work for—strong culture, clear values, and a sense of loyalty *I could have seen myself building a long-term career here and often spoke highly of the company to others *Strong early-career development and brand recognition

Cons

*Erosion of trust driven by abrupt, poorly communicated decisions *5-day in-office mandate for some offices rolled out with ~2 months notice, removing autonomy employees previously had, adding unnecessary strain to already demanding roles, and significantly disrupting employees’ day-to-day lives *Parental leave benefits were significantly reduced in a way that feels misaligned with the culture and “family-owned” values the company has historically emphasized. This change has been a meaningful source of frustration and disappointment for many employees *Poor communication on major changes—including benefits and office policy updates, which were not consistently or transparently shared *Employee feedback does not appear to be meaningfully incorporated into decision-making, even when concerns are raised through formal channels * The culture has shifted dramatically. What used to feel fun and energizing now feels rigid and overly monitored, with less trust and autonomy than before *As a result, the company risks losing strong, previously loyal employees and becoming less competitive in attracting new talent
