      Pros

      Nice atmosphere, friendly, most people willing to muck in and lend a hand. Facilities are generally good and working terms are flexible. When things are going well it's a great place to work and benefits do flow down to staff.

      Cons

      Pretends it is about natural health and family values, but is actually a money printing machine for the two owners. Everything and anything will be compromised or thrown under the bus in order to chase after the ludicrously unrealistic sales and profit targets. 22% increase demanded one year, which everyone knew was impossible but had to chase anyway, with huge pressure to cut overheads and make the number. Then when the obviously unachievable targets were missed the staff pay the price with no bonus, while the owners are still walking off with many millions in dividend. Constant atmosphere that the company is about to go bust, when it's actually making a huge profit each year that most companies can only dream of. Becomes difficult to stay motivated when all your efforts only reward the guy living in a castle.
