Pros

Great people, great managers, great team atmosphere. Pay was ok for Idaho. This was a great place to learn new skills and help others learn new skills. There was no "pigeon-holing" of the professional staff so one could gain a great deal of experience just by saying "I'll help". After Ed Sack left engineers were given the tools necessary to do the job, but... - see cons.

Cons

No clear directions from upper management on next generation products or processes. This translated into loss of market share and loss of jobs in manufacturing. While Ed Sack was CEO, he did all the real marketing and formed the company strategy based on his own market research. After he left the company fell into a state of wandering for its next new product.

Pros

I felt like an important contributor to the organization. Quality work was recognize and rewarded. usually the work environment was positive. You have quite a bit of flexibility in defining your role and your contribution level. If you want to work 90 hours a week, you can, and will probably be rewarded for it.

Cons

Unfortunately, senior management could never get the right product out at the right time. eventually, it gets old waiting for the business to turn around. It's really easy to forget about your social life. Some days you get so into work you lose track of the time and the whole day passes you by.
