Pros

Great people, great management in Technical Design, committed to quality (as much as the market allows). Was a great brand but is still strong with many dedicated long-term customers.

Cons

Antiquated business systems (currently being overhauled in 2018) and historically dysfunctional in upper management and marketing direction. Headed for Chapter 11 but I feel strongly that the brand is worthwhile and will be carried forward under new ownership.

Pros

Good time-off package. Holiday week off for office employees. Historically respected work-life balance and flexible working. Good employee discount and maternity leave.

Cons

C-suite pushing a mandatory 3 days in-office after 5+ years of boasting flexibility as a cornerstone of their employee benefits package. Lack of clear and thoughtful communication of this new policy was frustrating and disheartening as an employee. Leadership, starting with the CEO, is at an all-time low of the last 6 years of working in their corporate office. Horrifying to see how poorly initiatives are getting rolled out, likely getting pushed down from board of directors. Would anticipate a rough transition into the company if you choose to take a role replacing the dozens of employees possibly being forced to leave the company due to RTO.
