Pros

Stable environment - good opportunity for growth. The company does a good job of recognizing employees. The overall feel of the company is low key - it feels safe & stable and stress levels appear to be relatively manageable. They are involved in the community and support a number of philanthropy initiatives. Upper management is accessible and seem to listen to all levels of employees.

Cons

They lack structured training. Reviews don't seem to be relevant to pay increases. Little opportunities are missed like tuition reimbursement.

There are all kinds of little things we can do better. One such improvement we just made was including a vision hardware benefit for all employees. I cant tell you the positive feedback that little change has made. That was able to happen because we as a group have been smart consumers of health care, and are costs have increased at a slower pace than the industry. Keep up making a difference.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
