Pros

Gun discounts and free coffee.

Cons

I’m only taking the time to write this so hopefully someone else won’t get screwed over by Sig Sauer. Management is very dysfunctional. A lot of the long term employees came from Goss so they stick together. The ones without degrees are the worst because they are so unprofessional. Bullying and clicks are found in every department. Fingers are always being pointed. Everyone that isn’t in the CEO’s inner circle is scared shitless of him. When your boss feels that they can motivate you by fear since that’s the culture there you need to find another job. My manager was useless and blamed everyone else for his mistakes. After a while you get very tired of defending yourself. HR is useless. They just hire and fire. I would stay away unless you don’t mind working in a toxic work environment. HR will respond to this with a generic message. It’s because they know they have serious issues with management. Rather than address them they will just blame others, fire then, hire another sucker and repeat this same process until they have ran out of poor suckers to take advantage of.

Pros

-Employee discount (though it has decreased every year) -Workers tend to be more interested in getting along than infighting

Cons

-You WILL NOT be promoted, even within tracks where promotion wouldn't add responsibility, unless you suck up to management. You could be a level 1 doing the work of a level 4 for years. -Raises never keep up with inflation. You'll be lucky to get more than 3%. -Management doesn't honor doctor's notes, even in the case of severe illnesses. If you go over your 5 alloted sick days, expect to be written up.
