Pros
Having worked more than 30 years at Stark, few people could offer more comprehensive long term observations interacting with three generations of family members running the company than I could. While the management style has changed with the times, the basic thinking, treatment of employees and company goals has remained very much the same. The company has usually been more than fair and offered nearly unlimited opportunity. Work hard, be a dedicated employee and both you and the company will benefit. Interact well with the other employees, and the design community and you will excel.
Cons
In recent years there has been tremendous emphasis on youth rather than experience. Creative methods have been utilized to either cause older experienced employees to leave either voluntarily due to frustration or be nearly forced out. I was actually told not to hire a person that was 40 years old because " we want younger people".
