Pros

Good, caring people Ability to communicate to all levels 7.5 hour days Flexible work schedules Good PTO plan

Cons

Layoffs every 6 months Horrible communication from HR and Senior Management. We just experienced a huge layoff and nobody knows who got laid off and who is still employed. Many Senior Managers throughout the company are terribly under-qualified for the position they are in. No issue paying an outside salesman over $300K per year, but they can't hold onto very affordable IT resources that are sorely needed in a company operating on a ERP system (Baan) straight out of the early 90's. Products are slow to be released or behind the competition.

Pros

The mangers were so wrapped up in their own problems little time was spent addressing issues. If your so inclined you have the freedom to run your own business plan.

Cons

Business on the decline. Product prices did not reflect actual market value. Senior married managers having relationships with female married employees. The HR department just overlooked it all. Including the female HR manager having an affair with a male employee. He was fired and she saved. Manager meetings included creating hit lists of who to keep and who to dump. Then talking negatively about those people in the management meetings. Similar to the lunch room in junior high school. Painful to sit in those meeting or to be around managers in after hours business situations. Toxic environment with no upward movement available.
