Pros

Good pay, nice bonuses, good balance between work and family.

Cons

After 20 years with this company, I experienced mostly good things (excellent pay, big bonuses, good people to work with), but I was let go back in September for no good reason that my manager was able (or capable) of explaining to me. For instance, we had a weekly "one-on-one" meeting and not once did he bring anything up in an adverse way throughout that entire YEAR, but on September 3rd, he actually said, "after a year - (a YEAR!) - of 'poor performance' " he had to let me go. He couldn't bring up a single specific issue. He was extremely nervous during this PHONE CALL, and though I wanted to know what I could have done to precipitate my lay off, he simply said, "there were some things". It was obvious to me that he was put up to it - I always got along great with this guy and he always gave me huge bonuses, even after I was laid off for 4 months when I surprisingly got a nice bonus in the mail. All I'm trying to say is that this company is not what it appears to be, so beware.

Advice to Management

Be honest and don't lie.
