      Pros

      Good employee discounts. Nice facility. Relaxed dress code. Great Colorado location.

      Cons

      The son of the original CEO has been running the company for years, but lacks ANY formal (business) education which makes for a very dysfunctional run company. Due to poor sales 10% of the employees were laid off 2 years ago, which resulted in the loss of key people that were instrumental for the success of new high tech machinery that was being added.

      Pros

      Get to play with knives

      Cons

      Ownership is extremely out of touch with modern business practices. When you think of "marketing" you better love catalogues and internet forums.
