Pros

Huge Salary. Bonuses. Rural location (No Traffic)

Cons

It all start from the top. The owner is very old school. during the interview process he will promise you the world throw a huge salary and agree to set you up for future success that is impossible to achieve. but in the end you are just another one of his many overpaid puppets. it's his way or the highway and will look down upon you if you do not agree with his logic. Be prepared to be set up with unrealistic expectations. Schedules weekly Sunday afternoon conference calls. The turnover in the sales and marketing department is downright comical. Your colleagues will great you with open arms until you start working with them. HR department is unapproachable. The door to the HR office is locked for "security reasons" and they have what looks to be a glass "drive thru" window. you stand outside the window while the receptionists makes eye contact with you but ignores you. this can happen on your 30 minute lunch or 10 minute break. Nepotism is a big part of the company. If you are not part of the HR "click" then good luck having a successful career here. Most of the decisions made are reactionary. Rules and regulations are changed constantly. Management and supervision have potential. Most are approachable and very easy to work with. In the end HR controls most of the decisions and will veto anything they don't agree with. Good luck trying to take a vacation.You must submit all of your time by the end of January and can still be denied your weeks. You are always on call. If production numbers are low HR demands that you take mandatory paid/unpaid days off.
