Pros

Checks never bounced. Strong sales. Good Holiday party. Great colleagues with which to work. Great manufacturing staff. The have coffee.

Cons

The engineering department takes its orders from the Chief Development Officer (CDO), an Industrial Designer. Although there are attempts to follow standard toll gate procedures, designs are passed on from the CDO to product development already in development with no input from engineering. No proof of concept. Just here it is, make it work, and here's the date we need it. I never saw the CDO accept an idea that was not his own. Primary motivation-FEAR.

Pros

There are some great people that work here, the facility is nice and new.

Cons

Very little opportunity for growth with the exception of a few favorites, leadership team is incompetent, there's a lot of shady things going on. The culture of the company is to give the customer everything they want, with no exceptions, and no value is placed on the employees. A culture of managers throwing you under the bus, instead of building you up and helping you grow.
