Pros
Small company, easier to get things done because of this. Many employees that are hard working & good to work with. This company could have an awesome future, based on their quality products.
Cons
Owner/president makes knee jerk decisions without knowing the facts or thinking through the consequences. The company wants to grow, but cannot let go of its small company mentality & I don't see it ever evolving out of this as long as the current management team is in place. Way too much politics & tension for such a small. company. This company has been in existence for 20+years, but the most tenured employee is 6 years.....something wrong with that picture. Lots of turnover, 11+ people fired in one year's time. Also lots of politically incorrect comments made by owner/president & verbal attacks without researching the facts. The company seems to bleed money & for the wrong reasons & for departments that are managed by a family member. The owner/president's first reaction to a downward direction of the economy is to cut head count, rather than forecasting & preparing. If you can live on $30K or less for salary, with scant benefits, then this company is for you. Otherwise it's a stepping stone. Unfortunately I fear the current leadership will eventually be this company's ultimate demise.
