Avantages
Very casual environment, flexible hours/schedules, and the staff/management is very community & family oriented. You *really* have to screw up or be completely useless to get fired.
Inconvénients
If you're a Christian, then the Mission Statement is probably a breath of fresh air. If not, well, be prepared to deal with potentially uncomfortable situations like praying at potlucks, etc. AEC is very comfortable with "what" they are. They pay low because many of the employees want to stay in Sandy, so for the cost of living out there it's not a bad-paying gig. Portlanders? Forget it. You'll be paid $7-12 dollars less an hour for a comparable job in the metro area. The company is also very content with the size they are and has no desire whatsoever to grow. They have a great reputation in the industry but do not build on their current clientele. They are very risk-averse.
