Pros

Open and frequent communications from senior management. Solid excellent strategies that management was able to communicate and get all associates to commit to as well. Excellent benefits and sincere concern for their associates.

Cons

As the organization continues towards a Management structure that reduces the amount of family influence they need to guard against becoming just another company and away from the very special family run business formulated by core principles that is one of the many foundations for their success.

Pros

-Decent pay/benefits/vacation, although pay needs restructuring to keep up with competitors -Excellent place to start career -Great people (happy hours, etc) -Can learn a lot in short period of time if motivated -Exceptional brands -Fast pace keeps you on your toes and ready for anything

Cons

-Quite political -Almost always sacrifice wiser long-term decisions for quick fixes -Upper management often promotes ideas they don't follow through on, more specifically...has goals but doesn't have clear vision of how to get there -Uncertain future, company losing it's luster -Marketing doesn't know or show much interest in how rest of the cross-functional business units work -Focus on cost-cutting everything often holds us back from potentially brilliant decisions
