Pros

Good employee discounts. Nice facility. Relaxed dress code. Great Colorado location.

Cons

The son of the original CEO has been running the company for years, but lacks ANY formal (business) education which makes for a very dysfunctional run company. Due to poor sales 10% of the employees were laid off 2 years ago, which resulted in the loss of key people that were instrumental for the success of new high tech machinery that was being added.

Pros

Spyderco has been and continues to be better than I deserve.

Cons

There are cons, just like any relationship, but what's right about Spyderco always corrects what's wrong with it - Time and effort required.

Pros

Get to play with knives

Cons

Ownership is extremely out of touch with modern business practices. When you think of "marketing" you better love catalogues and internet forums.
