Pros

I've worked here for 5 years. Great work environment and culture. The family first attitude lets you achieve a great work/life balance. I've worked with the executive management and get say that they care for the employees of the company and have a great vision for the future.

Cons

Pay may be below market, but I've found that good raises are given to those that perform well.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
