Pros

Secure company. Privately owned, family company with no debt obligations and diverse product lines. Competent management.

Cons

Since 2008, there has been a new "normal" established in which much higher productivity is expected with fewer resources. In other words - Work longer, harder, smarter, and be thankful you have a job. This mode will be unsustainable in the longer term.

Pros

Great company culture and family atmosphere

Cons

Low pay, career advancement is too slow. Since the pay is low, good people always move on to other opportunities so the company is full of people who have critical flaw.

Opportunities galore

Pros

Culture of entrepreneurship, delegated responsibilities and trust. Family environment , but still professional. It is a great place to work - although not flamboyant. Leadership is a guiding principle and the company normally lives by the principles. Ethical outlook and always compliant. Due to conservatism built into the DNA, the company is a safe financial bet. Long term orientation in the decisions.

Cons

Unstructured HR policies - so if you are looking at a 'career path' you can forget it. No structured training / skill development initiatives. Low risk apetite especially in new ventures. The norm is to go slow, but be sure. This can be quite frustrating. Not a class leader when it comes to compensation
