Pros

Family-owned company means that there's no answering to stock-holders. The benefits package is very good, better than many other companies in the industry. The products are great and something to be proud of.

Cons

Very slow-moving in terms of product development and speed to market. Also, since most manufacturing is done overseas, there is a big disconnect with the US market. There's an air of arrogance because of the quality of products - can be perceived as a lack of connection to customers.

Pros

Great benefits and company culture, frequent opportunities to interface with senior leaders and executives.

Cons

Roles and responsibilities are demanding, complex organization to understand, and requires in-office days if you are in proximity to a regional hub.

Pros

Solid steady company, generally nice people and it can help people advance if they so choose.

Cons

Privately owned, so many decisions are made arbitrarily, not always having to be vetted properly. Globally, decisions would be made that would not be in the best interests of the US market. Also, if you're an internal employee, it could be difficult to be promoted/advance within the company. You get stuck with new duties, but no new titles/pay.
