Pros

- Fair compensation and good benefits - Excellent coworkers, young company, lot's of talent - Expanding business, with new production facilities coming online in the next few years

Cons

- Micromanaging and irrational owner who is well past retirement age (85+ years old) and probably does more harm than good to the company - Leadership is at times weak, hindered by overbearing owner of company - Company doesn't seem to have coherent objectives and a lot of employee time is wasted on projects that frequently go nowhere

Pros

Great team with lots of enthusiasm, albeit mostly because the aim is to hire young people who can be molded, abused and made to grovel since they don't have other companies and experiences for comparison. Pay and benefits generous. Large training and development budget. State of the art facility with onsite gym and subsidized cafeteria. Entrepreneurial spirit among designers who have a unique opportunity to work very closely and intensely on the product development process.

Cons

The business runs on constant injections of money from the owner and there are no budgets... It's nothing like a real business. Terrible treatment of employees by owner; he expects to be venerated. Constantly changing plans and not remembering what he told employees, causing constant frustration and rework. Anyone who does not agree with management is eliminated swiftly. Safety measures are not in place with respect to working inside machinery and operating lift equipment.
