Pros

The day to day employees are like family. They have great value and pride. The location and office at corporate are nice.

Cons

Executive leadership lacks but that has recently changed. HR must go to make it a choice employer, Daikin should sell the AAF portion of the company and keep McQuay. They need to make some drastic head count adjustments again.
