Pros
The company had excellent local management. They are a smaller company and supposed to be "folksy" and have more flexibility and personal support. Never missed a paycheck.
Kontras
The company has undergone a substantial management transformation in the last year. They have also done some very unethical things, such as changing the 401(k) so that only employees of record on 12/31 each year get the company match (which was low to start). The did this after a match paid with each pay check for years. Unfair practices with respect to vacation, and required some workers to work overtime, and didn't allow them to use the vacation, and then kept the vacation when they left under their "use it or lose it" policy. Personally - I logged 10-15 hours of overtime weekly, and was told "no" when asked if I could take some comp time off, which I felt was abusive. When I left, they kept my unused holiday days too. And kept my 401(k) company match, which I had accrued through the year. Many long term employees are leaving the company. Unfortunately, what was good about it has been lost. I wouldn't recommend working there any longer.
