Pros

Good brand and Espresso product is still a player but looks dated in comparison to competitors.

Cons

If the company and management were as economical with the overheads and spend as they are with the truth , the business would be in good shape. If you asked for the CV's of all the staff then looked at their positions you would assume that everyone was on a bus-mans holiday i.e a lot of people with little credible experience and qualifications to do their job, a lot of coasters and sycophants. Not a pleasant atmosphere to work in many clix within the company ( The haves) and those who are outside of these are the have nots. A lot of good ideas are dashed immediately due to "Not invented here syndrome" and an HR department that survives on "Google" search. In conclusion a SME business mentality with a Corporate badge, the business is not agile enough or forward thinking resting on its laurels whilst others future proof their portfolios of products, The swiftest way to go out of business is to get an increasing share in a shrinking market.

Pros

Generous attendance policy, Generous PTO, company dedicated to diversity.

Cons

Pay is lower as company includes all benefits into compensation. HR is terrible, but that is always the case. Interview process is always dragged out and never transparent
