Pros

For the three years I was employed here, I worked with some really great people and made some great friendships that I value.

Cons

This is one of the most mismanaged companies that I've ever worked for. They put a huge emphasis on the idea of "ohana" or in other words - family, but their actions are exactly the opposite. They've had 2 rounds of layoffs in the past 15 months yet they can afford to build a multi-million dollar building in downtown that they don't even need. The only positive of working for this company was my co-workers. Other than that, I dreaded coming into work every day. The company is run by a family so the nepotism is rampant throughout all of the upper management. Really poor pay, products that don't work, and a workplace environment that is driven by fear are just a few of the cons of working here.

Pros

This is a company that in the last couple years has really tried to set the standard in the industry. It has a very cultured environment that when taken to heart has really created a deep rooted desire to succeed. There have been some recent improvements in the hierarchy of the company that has began to push the leadership to a much more valued resource. I've noticed employee feed back its making it above the previous barrier that seemed to be shielding the executive team from truths that were taking place. Watching the growth that its taking place has been encouraging.

Cons

When a small company makes the big company jump there are bound to be growing pains. The communication is the single most impact at this point, there's a feel that departments are working against each other rather than with each other. The internal coaching really needs to be addressed. Internal conversations are often looked at as gossip rather than collaboration, which has led to a stigma that if your caught talking to anyone your labeled as a cancer. This makes it very hard to feel like you can go to upper management with concerns or to ask for help.
