Pros

Great benefits (hard to beat). The work can be enjoyable. Can find good people to work in various departments. Nice Christmas party.

Cons

Low pay for most people, Executive level is lacking. The company says they are a local company but they are very mainland minded. Allow certain people to get away with multiple offenses that warrant termination. Uses people as scapegoats for the shortcomings of others. Rumors/gossip spread faster than junior high. If a group of people decide they don't want you around anymore then they start rumors and false accusations.

Pros

Cyanotech actually works toward making people feel like they're important and cared about. Poor performance is coached and worked on until it no longer can be- Good performance is rewarded. Benefits are fantastic for all employees and pay is competitive. Profit sharing and stock programs are unrivaled by any company I've worked for. Leadership is taking this company in the right direction.

Cons

Some lack of new/ modern equipment, but it's on an upward trend.

Pros

Type of work is important as it's making purely natural products. Collaboration between departments is good at the non-management level employees.

Cons

Management has "lead by fear" culture, which causes high turnover. Not open to changes. Management says they have "open door" policy, but it's really chain of command.
