Pros

- Company core values are demonstrated everyday, it's not just words on the webpage. One reason I joined was the opportunity for professional growth, not only do they have courses, but the management and employees are knowledgeable and are great examples and mentors for the skills taught. - No politics: everyone is here to help the company and their co-workers succeed. - Profitable company that shares its success with the employees through a stakeholder bonus. - Decisions are not made on a whim, they are analyzed and understood before taking action. Decisions can take a while with this approach but overall it is a smart way to do business. - intelligent employees that respect your intelligence

Cons

- As mentioned above, sometimes decisions can take a little longer than you might like; but is worth it in the end. - Standard procedures that have been well vetted and exist in some areas of the company, but not all.

Pros

Lots of flexibility in job requirements. Over the dozen or so years I have been here, I have pretty much written my own job description. Small side projects became larger projects, become job requirements. I have not had a manager give me 'an assignment' in the last 8-9 years. It is a very self-directed environment. All the creature comforts are here: free drinks, breakfasts, Summer Outings, Anniversary cruises, etc... All the benefits that matter are here: 401k match, insurance plans, profit sharing. Respectable salary Being a worker-bee with no eye towards management, I am quite happy to do the 9-5, and not think about work at all when I am gone.

Cons

There is not a lot of promotions here. That said, I think people come in with weird expectations: It is not high school, you don't get a promotion every year. Realistically, every position I have held here had possibility of being a life long career position. If there are only five levels to each job, and I could be here for 40 years (a real possibility!), exactly how fast do you expect to move through the ranks?
