Pros

Deep domain expertise in label converting. Market leader in most of its markets. Makes investments in equipment and facilities. Some track record of moving chosen leaders from role to role. Many helpful people across the organization. Stable/growing company in a stable market. For hourly/lower level employees, it is a stable job choice.

Cons

Highly operations focused - other functions openly devalued. Without label production experience career options are very limited. Non transparent culture based largely on fear. Much time/effort is spent on hiding spending and management decisions from the CEO and his attack dog. Whole underground organization process on doing one thing and reporting another. HR policies of a small regional company: Compensation policies/levels not close to that of other large public companies; no training and education benefits; pursuit of higher education is no supported (in fact, it is actively discouraged); no talent management process other than who the CEO likes/has worked with down multiple layers in the organization; diversity of individuals/thought is not appreciated or encouraged. Surprising lack of HR, financial and legal controls and sophistication for a public company.
