Pros

Above average benefits, fast growing.

Cons

Employees with longer tenure in managemnet dominate outcome of decisions. Bethleham facility is crowded with 20 sq . feet of work space for office employees. The manufacturing floor is at 40 deg F. If your job requires any time on production floor, it could be noisy, uncomfortably cold, smelly and walking over meat. It is a publicly owned company with debt and very little profit - check financial reports. The management has history of several similar company background with selling brand and starting new company - potential for brand sold to large corporation. Check top management total pay in financial report, high for the revenue and size of company. If you apply for a job relating to manufacturing be aware that it is a 24/7 operation , prepare to spend weekends/holidays at work and working conditions. Company has difficulty finding people, most office and engineering jobs are filled by recruiting agency.

Pros

Great pay, benefits, bonuses. There are a lot of talented and genuinely good people who work for this company. If you work in the office you can get 5 weeks of PTO. Most people are out of the office by 3 or 4.

Cons

As company gets bigger, some perks are disappearing. It happens with any startup.
