Pros

excellent benefits. smart changes in sales structure the past year should help the company going forward. Most people are friendly and easy to work with,. Not too stressful, but presents fun challenges.

Cons

Sales incentives are poorly structured. way behind on technology, we can't even use tablets or connect our phones to get customer data. Its a pain to drag around a laptop. behind on current business practices, for instance, with the exception of sales, no one can work from home or remotely. Some key positions are held by people who have just been with the company a long time, not because they are good at their jobs.

Pros

The company strongly promotes a sense of internal loyalty through its "Orange Blood" culture, presenting itself as a tight-knit family. While this can create a feeling of community for those who align closely with leadership expectations, it may feel less welcoming to individuals who value independent thinking or outside perspectives.

Cons

For some, the cultural intensity can verge on insularity, with a few observers informally comparing it to a "true believer" environment. Company events and traditions are frequent and lively, but may feel performative rather than inclusive to those who have not spent their entire careers with the company. Within the company there is a clear ambition to align with modern tech industry standards. But the company's foundations in industrial manufacturing continue to strongly influence its culture and operations. This heritage provides stability, but also limits the speed and flexibility associated with true technology-driven organizations. Overall, while the workplace appears friendly and committed on the surface, prospective employees should take time to evaluate whether the culture’s strong internal focus and industrial paced product development supports their long-term career growth.
