Pros

Great people, I really can't stress it enough. Competent individuals who are willing to help you when you have a question. Also, the benefits are outstanding.

Cons

Advancement is based on your ability to relocate. i believe this is the sole reason people leave (don't want to spend the rest of their lives in Minneapolis). Also a very conservative company, if you don't fit the mold, you won't advance.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
