Pros

don't need to take job seriously, very social working conditions.

Cons

I have been here for years and the company is a joke! Management positions are given to family members only, salary is around 30-40k. There is no training, no appreciation for any hard work (so if you DO work here, don't bother working hard). Benefits are a joke (5 days vacation, expect to work during ALL weather conditions, even state of emergencies). Absolutely no promotions! There are a lot of under the table benefits given to certain employees, false marketing on products, and other shady practices. I have been looking to leave for a long time and cannot wait to do so.

Pros

If you started before the shift in mentality you have good pay and job security

Cons

Far below average pay rates. Employee's treated as expendable commodities. Some upper management enjoys gossiping. HR is inept and frequently makes mistakes with paychecks. There is a clear division between some upper management and common workers. Some make an effort to break this barrier but others seem to enjoy the management culture forming. People have to start fearing for their jobs when before HR was formed managers were much more personable and accommodating.

Pros

The environment is laid back. Colleagues are generally (emphasis on the generally) easy to get along with and there are a few very good, hard working people. Not a bad place to get your foot in the door for a few months for experience, but no more than that.

Cons

As many mentioned, salary is extremely low and the benefits are pretty bad as well. Nepotism runs rampant (I understand it is a family business, but there are literally no to very little room for advancement if you are an outsider). HR is not very helpful as it's not employee friendly. The company has even made employees sign NDA agreements to not badmouth or write negative reviews) because employees are getting fed up with some of the things that are happening. Employees have been forced out in recent months. While the environment is laid back, sometimes it is too lax with the way some employees behave (if you are sensitive to racist or sexual remarks, I would advise against working here).
