Pros

Industry leader. Employees are not micro-managed by upper management. Enjoy coworkers and office atmosphere. Feel like it's extension of my family. Fair treatment and pay.

Cons

Lower management not qualified to guide hourly employees in career development and they abuse time off policy since they aren't required to clock in and out. Upper management is rarely onsite to observe this abuse.
