Pros

Great culture, amazing people, Hunter is a truly 'feel-good' work place. You'll have a hard time finding such a nice, friendly place to work anywhere else. Also, health and fitness is encouraged, gym is new, well equipped, well maintained, and well staffed. Everyone from line workers to senior management is extremely friendly. Hard to beat all of that, which is why most people stay for so long (average tenure is 12-15 yrs). Plus the location (San Diego) means great place to live.

Cons

Salary is below average, despite what HR says. Opportunity for growth is close to none, unless you want to stay for 15 years, even then many employees rarely see opportunities for promotion or growth. Average merit increase is only a point or two greater than inflation, so raises are slim. The innovation 'engine' is lacking, as the culture is severely risk averse.

Pros

Develop resilience, seek better opportunities!

Cons

SO MANY that it cannot be covered in one page even. CEO is likable but the senior, mid-low level management are not so good. They however operate to the cadence of the CEO. I have seen so far in my professional career. No professional etiquette, no empathy for its employees, They don't want assertive and productive employees; they want people who are desperate for employment workers and low in confidence. Pay is below market. Incentive is even worst, Out of guilt, they offer an annual bonus that’s about 10% of compensation and is driven by company performance. To offset many inefficient processes and lost revenue, they hire and tolerate low skilled workers. Managers are inexperienced, highly non-cooperative and not supportive. Employees who have committed decades of service were harassed and forced to leave. Your career flounder because your job duties are not likely to translate well, unless you’re an engineer, or a warehouse worker. Work/life balance is affected by working for a terrible manager.
