Pros
Better than digging ditches, maybe.
Cons
You could have listed some "cons" before William Jones sold the company to CPI and purposely waited to tell employees until New Year's Eve. Thanks, Bill. Enjoy your Bentley. However, those concerns are nothing compared to the post-CPI world. Crane bought Cummins-Allison just to get their sales and service team, since they were used to being an OEM supplier and never before had a product to sell directly to end users. Once they developed such a product called Paypod, they failed miserably at selling it and though they could improve things a bit by buying Cummins-Allison and their sales and service teams. Layoffs after acquisition, and more rounds of layoffs due to COVID. The worst thing about CPI is their culture. They chant their founder's words like a cult before every company-wide meeting, but don't practice what they preach. No transitioning CA employee that talked to an existing CPI employee after the acquisition had anything nice to say about upper management or the culture at CPI. It's very much a thankless job environment where the key message is, "what have you done for me today". Avoid this company like the plague. You have been warned.
