Pros

Strong values and leadership, good work life balance, leadership is willing to listen to employees. I would say the pros outweighed the cons, the company is slowly trying to change the culture.

Cons

NY facilities are old, company culture is not very strong and there are not many employee perks like free happy hours or team outings, does not cater to the younger work force. The company is over 150 years old and has archaic technology, however measures are being taken to replace this technology

Pros

Lots of room to move up in the company. Development plans are highly encouraged and supported by leadership. If you work hard the opportunities are there.

Cons

Favoritism is rampant is some areas of the company. There is also a tendency to roll out projects before it has been fully thought through and we often have to roll back.
