Pros

Decent compensation. Good co-workers Comraderie at lower levels. 4% match on 401K Overall competive benefits package. Good geographic locations to fit different preferences.

Cons

No committment to invest in current business. Lack of understanding of real problems by upper management and even site management. Too much emphasis on immediate term at the expense of ling term viability. Company has established a pattern of shedding higher paid senior employees in favor of lower salaried, less experienced persons.

Great people Great opportunities Willing to give more responsibility/grow Good work life balance while also still having good drive at work

Cons

Not a lot of cons, everyone is very understanding and the small office could be a downside for resources, but personally did not find that to be an issue
