Pros

Medical and Dental benefits were great but comes at a price. The price paid for great Medical benefits is lower salary/hourly wages and poor vacation plan. Even after that consideration, they underpay industry standard by at least 10%. They do have a pseudo family atmosphere, better than most companies that boast of such. However, like any family there is dysfunction.

Cons

Owner of company holds the purse strings so tight, onward and upward movement is stifled. THE WORST Corporate vacation plan in the country, no accrual process. You have to be there 10 years before the national average vacation plan is met. If you are comfortable with the status quo this is the place for you. If you have drive and ambition this could be a stepping stone or just miss this step. Majority Dividends and control of the company are held within the brotherhood.

Pros

Tons of growth opportunity for people willing to invest in the company. My department has grown by 400% in the past 10 years. Lots of training provided. PM's are expected to have complete ownership of their projects.

Cons

Going through a digital transformation which should be good in the long term. Work life balance can be tough but it comes in waves.
