Pros

If management likes you and you're in the corporate sector of the company, it is very easy to move up in positions and get paid a high salary. I've never been at a company where they hand out new positions and higher salaries in such a short-time scale, for no justifiable reason. Sales employees barely out of college make an extremely high salary. In addition, they always seem to have money to put on events, go out to lunch, get catering, etc. The perks are nice on the surface, especially if you are a CalPoly grad. They are very successful and are expanding to new markets.

Cons

It's a toxic workplace with nepotist policies. The CEO and his sons walk around like they're gods gift to avocados. You have to tip-toe around them to not hurt their inflated egos. Though growth is fast, they will also cut you very fast if you don't fit into the bravado, good ole-boys style, or if they simply don't like you. They disregard normal workplace policies to suit their needs, and while the sales people are making unjustifiable high salaries, they can't even fork over a dollar over minimum wage to their seasonal produce workers. They make them work long hours, supervisors berate employees, and they don't get any benefits. It's honestly disgusting.

Pros

The pay is good, but not great. You'll leave early on two Fridays, and if you are lucky, you'll get to work with a few good people (in a team of 25+), good HR onboarding,

Cons

You barely get onboarding for the department you work in; you have to teach yourself how and what to do. The job description is very different from what you would do. They expect you to work hard and not work smart. Nepotism screams there. You will be blamed for other's mistakes. The work-life balance does not exist.
