Pros

Ability to work overtime, many paid vacation days, exposure to many different online platforms, frequent attendance at trade shows, the people who work there are kind and everyone gets along

Cons

Dishonest business practices, rude and insulting management that likes to belittle the staff, pay checks late often, even if you get something in writing it may not hold up, owner's son-in-law runs day-to-day with no experience, dishonest with vendors, never pay their PO's, scam everyone on product, customer service etc. You will be talked to like garbage, made to lie and cheat daily and never feel appreciated or treated with respect.

Pros

Working here has reminded me that the quality of a job is shaped not just by tasks, but by the tone of the environment—how people speak to each other, how decisions are made, and how mistakes are handled. This company gets those things right. Leadership The owners combine ambition with humility. They listen, they take responsibility, and they care about building something enduring. There’s no ego theater—just steady, thoughtful leadership. Culture You’re treated like an adult. Expectations are clear, ideas are welcomed, and honesty is met with curiosity rather than fear. Mistakes aren’t moral failures; they’re opportunities to improve the system. It’s a surprisingly sane and human place to work. Work & Growth Work feels purposeful rather than chaotic. The company invests in good tools, better processes, and the people who run them. You’re encouraged to think, refine, and contribute meaningfully. Colleagues People here want to succeed together. There’s kindness in the everyday interactions, which makes the hard days lighter and the good days even better. In short: It’s a rare mix of clarity, integrity, and genuine care. If you value growth, honesty, and a workplace where good people can actually do great work, you’ll thrive here.

Cons

No real “cons” in the traditional sense. All organizations have imperfections, but here they are met with honesty and a willingness to fix them. Any challenges feel like part of the natural process of building something worthwhile.
