Pros

The former president was decent enough to give out yearly bonus checks, lunch parties, games, trips. He hired all the right people and kept them around for a long time.

Cons

The new president got rid of all of the above, she fired, forced retirement, or pushed out all of the good employees, but told everyone she wouldn't make staff changes the day she got hired. She kept people who kiss up to her, and hired all her friends who have very little or no experience. She doesn't keep her word, she will belittle you, ignore you, and criticize you if you don't agree with her. Yet, she has 1 hour company weekly meetings about respect. What a joke! All of her managers are yes people, even though they don't understand the business. Although I agree with some of the 5S principles, they wanted to force this concept on a company that doesn't necessarily needs this all the way around. If you like toxic environments, like being your time tracked by a device, like being video recorded while you work, then this is the place for you. Also, there is no chance of moving up unless you are her friend or a kiss up. I whished I would have looked her up before she got hired, all of her reviews are the same.

Pros

Great products that customers have used for years of research.

Cons

Current management that came in has gutted the company leaving customers and faithful employees to be cast to the wayside. Very sad.
