Pros

Cash flow is solid, so paychecks come regularly. The company culture (a Family Company) was quite valuable. I'm not sure how much longer that will be around.

Cons

Far too many changes (hires from the outside) within management (and executives) the past few years. Each new person wants to leave his/her mark by instituting change. Unfortunately, all the various changes are left unchecked and do not mesh well with other functions. This leaves problems and issues throughout the entire organization.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
