Pros

Family owned firm. The owners care about their employees, with numerous small perks (Free Turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas), bonus, 4th of July party, etc. Not a bad place to work, however at the end of the day, it is a place to work.

Cons

Skytron like many family owned firms is incredibly political. Although we are all part of the Skytron "Family" some of us are more family than others. Managment style is stuck in the 1970's and 1980's. Although there is talk of improvement, wheels are simply spinning. Lack of best practices and awareness of market dynamics is not only slowing growth, but leaving company in the dust. You are hired into a job, and you will remain in that job for the long haul. Lots of promising younger employees are finding jobs outside now that the economy is improving, leaving a lack of depth in the bench. Other employees that challenge the status quo and try to improve things are shown the door.
