Pros

Great people, I really can't stress it enough. Competent individuals who are willing to help you when you have a question. Also, the benefits are outstanding.

Cons

Advancement is based on your ability to relocate. i believe this is the sole reason people leave (don't want to spend the rest of their lives in Minneapolis). Also a very conservative company, if you don't fit the mold, you won't advance.

Good work life balance, many people fully remote or hybrid

Cons

Layoffs are often and if you don’t move quickly you get caught up in them

Pros

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
