Pros

Interesting business with some strong employees Good product offering

Cons

Poor communication between departments Not scalable at least in it's current form. A lot of back end processes need improvement Not well controlled. Senior Management is mixed, a lot of the problems of scalability and inefficiency should be addressed but aren't prioritized. Merchandizing and the plant operations are always at odds and pointing the finger at each other and the transportation side of the business is a disaster. While it's a good business to be in I don't think the Company can streamline and scale processes effectively to make it really profitable.

Pros

What I loved about this job is getting full ownership over my part of the business, and I know a lot of people stick around because they feel a similar passion and ownership. Even though the company is 25 years old, there are still many areas where a much work is needed and therefore great opportunity for new people to come in and make big impact.

Cons

No flexibility for employees to work from home when needed, and terrible PTO package. The family leadership is not transparent, makes questionable business decisions.
