Pros

Friendly colleagues and staff. Small town feel, not a high pressure, fast-paced, or stressful working environment.

Cons

The management is pretty tight-knit so opportunities for advancement and fringe benefits are rare to non-existent if you are not in management or the inner circle they have there. Management is well taken care of with a car allowance, a company credit card, a fuel card, and other fringe benefits. I think this created a company culture where the needs of management were prioritized over the non-management staff. For instance, while I was there I needed a new laptop so my manager gave me his old one and he ordered the new one for himself even though laptop use was much heavier in my position. The company culture drove this kind of behavior (management gets the best and newest). The vacation and sick leave benefits could have been better also. I would recommend the company as a good stepping stone to get some experience, but in time you will probably find that you need to move on if you want to advance your career, get a competitive salary, benefits, etc. It was a good stepping stone for me.

Pros

Overall great group of people to work with. Family oriented. Room for growth.

Cons

There is no inner office communication regarding open positions to give current employees opportunity before hiring from outside. Lack of communication on many levels. Decisions that cost the company money. Seeing as how we are an ESOP there are decisions made by management positions that don't seem to be cost effective. There are things communicated one person at a time and not to a full group. Employees have been brought on board having had previous experience and now call others outside of their department to find out how to accomplish a task. I have seen upper management put (regardless of position) employees under them under fire for lack of doing something, but then do not hold other employees that have been around for 3+ years and "Should know better" to the same standards. There are double standards across the board. The culture has changed drastically over the past 3 years and I would say not for the better. Some in supervior positions have a hard time taking suggestions from others who have been with the company longer, and it could come across in a discriminatory way.
