Pros

Pay and benefits are more than fair and it's been a strong compliment to ownership that not many people, if any, have lost their jobs. The building is modern, colorful, and comfortable.

Cons

I do believe that ownership cares about employees but strategic direction is lacking. If you think about it, how many companies have started out of a garage and 25 yrs later the same two people are running it? Even Bill gates, hired a CEO and Steve Jobs, well....he's Steve Jobs. The creepy thing about this place is that some of the people that go far back with the owner have a relationship that I don't trust. I would be careful about what and who I say anything to.
