Pros

401k and retirement contributions are fine.

Cons

Turnover is extreme, average 1 salaried employee every 12-weeks. Continuous culture of blame and a very hostile environment. There is no stepping up to admit problems because there are negative repercussions to anything off plan, or any miss on "stretch" goals.

Pros

There is a culture of continuous improvement which is nice. Great company match on 401(k) which works out to be 6% as long as you put in at least 5%.

Cons

Upper-management try to push "the best team wins," but it seems that only upper-management "win." Pay is sub par.
