Pros

The people that do the manual labor are hard working and have a strong sense of producing the very best.

Cons

The company values external candidates more than internal employees. The internal posting process is not followed. There are very few internal promotions that happen. The CEO publicly berates his direct reports and has little regard for the people that work for the company. No emphasis on employee recognition.
