Pros

Some of the product and manufacturing people are very passionate about the brand and heritage. Impressive new building.

Cons

Far too few people actually doing the work. Too many chiefs (VP-level and higher) and not enough indians. Model variants have exploded; product portfolio needs to be shrunk by 50 percent.

Pros

Great health [medical and dental] and 401k benefits and great purchasing discount. The location when they had a Charleston office, was great.

Cons

Salary was on the low side, and communication between senior and lower management needed improvement. Too many products were created before proper marketing research was done. When the "economy took a nose dive", the company quit contributing to the 401K plan. They should've reduced elsewhere; maybe product development.
