Pros

Easy job duties due to the out of date processes, technology, and general lack of leadership skills

Cons

Out of touch management at all levels. Many manager and executive level employees have been with the company for 10+ years and whole heartily lack awareness outside of their bubble. HR continuously hosts companywide meetings to hype up their expensive and outdated benefits. I was truly baffled every time someone from HR was VERY enthusiastically describing the PTO policy, which is the bare min allowed by federal law... Family owned, privately held company with an annual revenue of $700M that pays college educated corporate workers $18/hour. I wonder who pockets a majority of that revenue?
