Pros
Down to earth leadership team! When the president says his door is open, it really is. I've heard upper management say this at other companies and employees received a not so warm welcome if they tried to approach upper management. You and your work-life balance mattered! Summer hours were a great perk that I do not have now. Profit-sharing plan for employees! This is the only company I ever worked for that offered this to employees. Employees were invested in helping the company save money because they knew it would end up in their pockets. Employee discounts were amazing! Many a family member received sublimated sweatshirts the last year I worked there. Lastly, the people! I stay in touch with many wonderful coworkers that I had the pleasure of working with at Champro.
Cons
There are times that you can be very busy and then the pace slows down towards the end of the year. This is mostly due to the selling cycles in sporting goods and it more than balanced out in the end. When I first started, there were some disconnects with communication across different departments and there was a big push for improvement in that area. Champro was leaps and bounds ahead of where they were when I left. Aside from that, nothing that doesn't exist in every other company.
