Pros

Strong work-life balance, culture of innovation, open to new ideas/different ways of thinking, many different opportunities. The company is so well-diversified that there are many different career paths one can take.

Cons

HQ in St Paul, MN & lots of locations in undesirable places to live, frequent supervisor/leadership changes, not very good with IT or rapid technology changes. Hard to achieve significant pay raises - annual reviews are more about the business conditions & less about individual's strong contributions.

Pros

Teamwork, the crew , good pay,

Cons

Long hours, forced 12hour shifts with no lunch break and over time, average week is 52 to 60 hours , short staffed regularly, management team not engaged on floor, managers with poor attitudes, no breaks. Promotions are based off of favoritism you will get the interview but they already know who they picked.
