Pros

Great location to be for people who live in Litchfield County where there is a drastic lack of decent jobs and salary.

Cons

Prior to the sale in '08 was an amazing company to work for. The new regime brought in terrible President with major personal problems that directly affected the employee morale. Causing decline in customer service, quality control and eventually client satisfaction. So sad.

Pros

* Easy hours that didn't interfere with life too much. * The actual process of work was easy enough. * Work isn't too complicated on an overall basis.

Cons

- No room for advancement. - Responsibilities are added to others whenever somebody quits with no bump in pay. - People who quit are rarely replaced, meaning their work is done by others in their department. - Requests for raises and promotions are often met with responses like "just be glad you have a job and get back to work." - Major lack of leadership across all departments. - Key employees quit or are let go without being replaced, leading to increased stress on remaining employees. - Executive team is only concerned with how to blame others for mistakes and decline in sales. - There is no trust among most employees, and certainly none in regards to upper management trusting the employees who work under them. - Lack of communication is one of the most pressing issues the company faces. - Departments don't communicate with each other. They are often pitted against each other if there are issues. - Upper management sows discord among departments in order to keep focus off of upper management's mistakes. - Most problems, including interpersonal issues, are routinely ignored by upper management. - Morale isn't just low, it's nonexistent. - Management ignores morale issues until they can't be ignored, and then tries to fix it by doing too little, too late. - The response to most complaints is "if you don't like it, nobody is forcing you to work here." - Contacting corporate HR is almost impossible. Email is best so you can track how many times you've had to try to contact them.

Pros

While working there, the company was in the process of shifting from a family-run organization to a corporate organization. The "family" and small business values that remained were evident in certain people, and those people made the company what it was four years ago. My co-workers were an awesome group of people and i do miss them.

Cons

While working there, the company was in the process of shifting from a family-run organization to a corporate organization. The "family" culture and culture of employee appreciation drastically fell off. Unfortunately, those remaining in management had no concept of the direct correlation between employee morale and the present and future direction of a company. I was drastically underpaid and under-appreciated.
