Poor IT and HR Management

Pros

Lots of great employees and good work ethics in the trenches

Cons

Very poor IT and HR management. Both teams suffer from leaders that are not qualified, micromanage and don't let their teammates be successful. Also > 50% of the IT staff is unqualified and unwilling to do the work. Very demoralizing for the rest of Marvin.

Great People managed by Terrible Leadership

Pros

Pay is very competitive. A vast majority of mid-to-lower level employees are awesome, salt-of-the-earth people.

Cons

The core of the company (ownership/upper management) is rotten. They're all friends, most have been with the company 40+ years, and, simply put, they're just not good people. Out of the ten I've met and worked with, there are three who I can say are exceptions to this. The company's paid holiday schedule is the worst I've ever seen. I believe they pay for 4th of July, Thanksgiving Day (only), Christmas Day (only), and New Year's Day (only). And do not expect to be able to work remotely. All this to say, if you have an opportunity to make significantly more money working at Marvin... use that opportunity as a very temporary placeholder as you search for a more permanent home.
