Pros

Innovative company, many businesses that developed products that are important to other business operations.

Cons

The company has losts their way with only short term wall street focus. Since turning into a financial company vs. the original innovation company. Only way executive management knows to meet wall street demands are to eliminate jobs. Actual development of products, or innovation true to the core has all been reduced. Recycled executive team just brings that same ideas

Pros

Teamwork, the crew , good pay,

Cons

Long hours, forced 12hour shifts with no lunch break and over time, average week is 52 to 60 hours , short staffed regularly, management team not engaged on floor, managers with poor attitudes, no breaks. Promotions are based off of favoritism you will get the interview but they already know who they picked.
