Pros

company views employees as a family, not workers. refers to employees as members and managers as leaders. company believes in profit sharing with employees. company motto is to split earnings between shareholders and members. each division is relatively small within the larger corporation, giving individual employees a lot of responsibilities, a definite pro if you want to be a big fish in a small pond. also the corporation has an excellent benefits program

Cons

because the company grows by acquiring new businesses and placing them within its existing divisions, there are a lot of clashings of cultures between divisions even though it is all one relatively small umbrella company

Pros

Great with previous leadership. But then...

Cons

New leadership is not as dedicated to employees as previous (although bonuses have been better). New middle management there is a lot of nepotism. Once a stable company, layoffs have been a common occurrence since COVID.
