Pros

-Headquarters in beautiful northern Michigan -Health benefits are decent -Closed most holidays -Bring your dog to work

Cons

Management lacks decision making capabilities and 70% of the people who work here are managers. Company culture is poor and morale is low (saying your culture is good doesn't automatically make it that way). They advertise on their job postings about playing with Nerf blasters and bringing your dogs to work, but those things are frowned upon of you actually partake. Favoritism is rampant throughout the company as most people who work here are related to at least one other employee. That said, it's not uncommon for one employee to be reprimanded for an action that may cause a different employee to receive positive reinforcement. Pay is borderline laughable for the industy, especially if you're a long term employee. They say they like to promote from within and "grow" their employees, but expect to be paid less than half of the industry standard if so. Even new employees starting here can expect to be underpaid considerably. Expect "a view of the bay is worth half your pay" or "our benefits are really good" types of excuses while they apply a pay scale factor to the industry compensation standards. Managers have no real management experience and they often base their strategies and decisions on whatever management book sold cheaply on Amazon that month.
