Pros

They are a design leader. They offered many valuable learning experiences over the course of my employment. Paid a good salary for a rural location (but still under market value). Historic charm. A long-standing American manufacturing company (despite most manufacturing happening in other parts of the world).

Cons

Traditional culture with transactional work relationships. Individual competition is encouraged vs team collaboration which results in a cut-throat environment. This is evidenced by their highest employee award of the BOLD individual presented yearly by the CEO and the “whatever it takes” award. Status quo products despite innovation claims. Nearly no state of the art working conditions. Poor quality products despite design leadership. Politically charged ways of working means half of the effort you give will simply be to navigate/survive the culture.
