Pros

Good people to work with and work for. Good culture and good values. I learned quite a lot including different functions.

Job security could be challenging because of industry volatility despite management's best efforts to survive in a challenging market place.

Pros

PTO time, no work on weekends or holidays. Company discount on basically everything. Free lunches and special events (before merger)

Cons

The transition after the merger was not smooth due to poor planning. Customers suffered in the process and employees were frustrated.
