Pluspunten

There is zero pressure, the bar is super low, layoffs don't really happen, there are free snacks, the offices are well-appointed and furnished.

Minpunten

Mediocrity abounds, everyone who loves it is there because they are terrible at what they do, the pay is not remotely competitive (they hang their hat on "Cost of Labor" as the justification), everything is built on tenure rather than talent. They sell new employees on a generous bonus structure, but don't disclose that the bonus that you are sold is in fact unattainable, even in an exceptional year of company and individual performance. The profit sharing is not realized for years. They don't do raises, only at the time of promotion does a high-level salary get adjusted. Leadership also requires you to pretend that you are hybrid by coming into the office 5 days a month, even though you are zooming with people on other floors anyway. Zero transparency on anything; I guess that is to be expected when you are private family co.

Pluspunten

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Minpunten

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
