Pros
-Health and dental insurance mostly employer-paid -Generally Mon-Fri -Monthly birthday cake -Occasional party or barbeque -Some paid holidays
Cons
-Owners are engineers, not businessmen -Owners are "always right" and not willing to listen or seek advice from knowledgable staff -Employees are blamed when other people do not do their jobs, instead of going to the person who has that responsiblity and confronting them -Company is wasteful with money, and as soon as there are sales, hire a bunch of people who are not needed, who are their own friends and family -When sales get slow, company lets go of good employees who are making things better and have families and bills -Friends and family get the overtime and raises -Time is spent micromanaging instead of getting sales and following up with customers
