Pros

Flexible, family atmosphere, upper management and owner are wonderful as well as coworkers. Located in a great small town. Good benefits and "work hard, play hard" environment. Upper management will listen to the ideas of any level of staff, which is great as long as middle management doesn't get in the way.

Cons

Mid level management needs training on appropriate behavior. Many are great, but a few are horrible. The horrible ones can make life hell, which is hard for upper level management to understand because the great managers do such a wonderful job.

Pros

Quality Product Great story for the company

Cons

Benefits are VERY expensive. Product is 50% more expensive than the closest two competitors and the primary competitor is arguably the same product for half the cost. Management thinks they can overcome that problem by "selling better" Extremely disorganized between departments. Overall sales structure creates in-fighting. More often than not, sales person is putting out fires that other departments started because they don't know any roles outside of their own. Sales process is taken away from sales person prior to deal officially closing but then if deal goes backwards, salesperson gets their commission taken back even though they weren't handling the rollout. Extremely complicated rollout process.
