Pros

The work environment is nice, clean, indoors, federal holidays we get off, Employees are friendly, no layoffs, insurance benefits are available, 401 K good too.

Cons

They ask everyone to wear to many different hats. They continue to dump more and more jobs and responsibilities on you without any additional conpensation. They pay is very low for the industry but if you can live with that and want a job without fear of layoff then this is the place to be.

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.
