Pros
The annual chili cook-off was always fun and I enjoyed the company of my co-workers for the most part
Cons
First off, the owner and (former) CEO is kind of nuts. Nice guy to your face most of the time but clearly watched too much Fox News. He would regularly stuff pamphlets for COMPANY FUNDED right-wing webinars/guest speaking events in your mailbox that were politically charged at best and borderline neo-Nazi conspiracy propaganda at worst. Turned out the guy was basically running an ultra-conservative think tank out of the auditorium. Maybe if he had redirected some of his funds from his propaganda outfit to the actual company he wouldn't have had to sell/close the place, but alas. HUGE employee turnover and management problem. In my last year there the sales/customer service department alone went through no less than 6-7 managers because they'd either quit or get fired after just a couple of months, usually because of the confusing and unorganized SOPs and terrible senior leadership. Literally could not sell these frames because frankly the product was simply inferior to the competitors. The company demanded sales but put no effort into innovating their products, which were far too expensive for what they were offering. Plus the turnover was so high, training so poor, and pay so low that manufacturing mistakes occurred constantly. Prior to the company being sold off to its new owner in early 2024, the owner called an all-hands meeting one morning and fired nearly everyone on the spot with no warning, completely throwing away what little goodwill the employees had toward the company. You get the idea. Maybe the place has improved since being bought by another company, but if it has the same leadership then I highly doubt it.
