Employment status: former

Great company with great products suffering from culture changes to big box retailer.
Pros: Great products, great benefits. Really great vision and mission statements. Very innovative company.
Cons: Turning into a big box retail. Bad pay.

Payroll hours are limited during slower times of year but company continues to increase staff which causes hours per employee to average around 10 per week during slower time periods, about half the year. This decreases morale considerably.

Management is overall very positive but can tend to value going outside the company for positions rather than promoting from within. This leads to a lot of senior and regional managers who don't share the culture of the company and who have a large learning curve to get up to speed.
