Great ideas...poor execution

Pros

Work/Life balance, work from home option, great people to work with

Cons

Salary is not competitive with the market, people leaving in droves for more $$$, I received a $0.25 cent raise after being here for 3 years. Upper management has a connection to the employees and their needs. The benefits are not great. The rules are constantly changing...much like upper management.

Pros

It is a job, better than living on the street

Cons

You must live in Chicago to get promoted. Management does not know how to run an AV company. They have eliminated the training program. No real processes in place that lead to a quality install, except for a 700 page playback that was written by idiots, but don't worry about that cause no one reads it anyway. Always trying to role out something new, only because their last idea failed. Employees and customers are just a number. It is a good ole boy network, not worry about getting a nationwide account because those are already given to their drinking buddy. Sales training in Tampa is just an excuse to get drunk and sleep with vendors and co workers. Better get a good salary cause you will not make commission.

Pros

Salary was reasonable but don't let that be your decision driver.

Cons

High turnover, including upper management changes every two years due to poor performance. leadership is inept, no real understanding of the business model and applications. Finance department is run by inexperienced management unable to identify issues or recommend improvements. Results are delayed or incorrect could also be manipulated. Very competitive industry to be in with management that doesn't understand the business or is too new, inexperienced, not talented or capable of delivering results. Not able to retain or develop talent, stay away if you can. it may hurt your career working for this company.
