Pros

An "employee-owned" company with good health benefits that make up, in part, for low-end wages. New CEO with progressive ideas regarding the meaning of "employee ownership" may change the negative corporate culture.

Cons

Low wages, dead-end positions, minimal acknowledgement of achievements, maximal criticism of mistakes/failures, harsh employee evaluations have many employees asking "If I'm doing such a bad job, why don't they fire me?", abusive middle management in some departments that results in high turnover.

Not as good as advertised

Pros

Employee-owned, good benefits and the stock value has been growing very rapidly

Cons

I was in outside sales, and my sales budget was unrealistic, and my commission rate dropped if I didn't hit my budget number. The employee review process is too harsh. Senior management seems to think the review process should focus on bashing employees instead of building them up or, God forbid, praise them.
