Pros

Focus on environmental responsibility, good community volunteer program with opportunities for employees to participate. Dedicated hard working people in many positions. Company continues to attract high caliber line employees.

Cons

Company eliminating ESOP program, focusing now on rewarding executives and senior managers rather than line employees. Benefits declining. Pay below market for technical, professional class employees. Company culture changing due to hiring of outside managers rather than promotions. Unclear career paths. Mid level managers autocratic and do not listen. Professional employees expected to work during vacations if needed. Offices run down and dirty. Computer system absurdly out of date.

Pros

None that I can think of now, thus the reason for looking for something new.

Cons

Too many bad decisions made over the last 5 years resulting in too many people either being let go or moving on themselves. Work has been outsourced outside of the US and to another state where the work ethic is not that of people in MN. Merit increases have been little to none over the past 3 years. Benefits are ok, but could be a lot better.
