Pros

Schedule flexibility - paid vacation and sick days Bonuses (but only when the company did well) Salary wage instead of hourly Early dismissal on Fridays of long weekends Bonus vacation days sometimes

Cons

Lack of communication Boys club - my President/VP cared more about their salaries than anyone else Pay increases were little to nothing If you make a mistake they hold it over your head Do not invest in their employees Not a modern workplace, very old school Lack of support Huge disconnect between upper management and general employees No culture or engagement

Pros

Good work-life balance with Sociable Teams

Cons

Pay is not great (particularly with the continual phasing out of overtime) and not one pay rise in line with inflation (grade on grade -excl. Promotion) within my 3 years there. Managers are there based on time served, not leadership ability.
