Business Outlook

Pros

Well known, stable company that's been around for 50+ years. There are opportunities to do light travel since it's small enough to not have extensive offices outside the U.S. but at the same time it does business globally.

Cons

Executive team uninspiring and detached from the company as they are located in Minneapolis which does not make any sense as R&D, Sales nor products are located there, only the executives. As others have pointed out they do seem to be in the habit of pruning the employee ranks every year.
