Vantaggi
Clearly the company still exists - at least in name - which is a good thing for those employees who still work there.
Svantaggi
A close-knit privately-owned family company with loyal employees was destroyed when the owner chose to sell it to Internet Brands - a division of KKR that is only interested in the bottom line. Internet Brands promised to make few changes, but within 6 months a dozen employees - many with a long history with the company - were sent packing. My own department once had as many as 16 employees, but when I was told on a weekday during the pandemic that it would be my last day, the department was down to fewer than 6. BTW, the rating that I’m giving the CEO is not for Richard LaLonde (who deserved a 5 star plus rating and has since passed away RIP Rich), but for Bob Briscoe and his underling Curt Cozad.
