Pros

Benefits Package is good, pay is good

Cons

Human Resources and Management is terrible. HR is never available, they are always in meetings. Too many managers. I've silently watched several wonderful employees have problems and they receive little to no assistance from HR, they have eventually left. My respect and view completely changed when I saw a key marketing communications member laid off because of personal reasons and not for business reasons at all. This showed me that no one can be trusted and that if you challenge someone they will find a reason to let you go. Although my job is secure, I've lost respect.

Pros

The salary is a little above similar positions in the region. Coworkers are great people that really want to see you succeed. The vacation and days off are good, if you are not bothered during your days off.

Cons

Bad processing systems, too many managers. Not a good work life balance. I felt that they worked me to death. They don't know how to communicate internally. They change things constantly and get angry with you when you dont do things they way they want, but they didn't tell you about the change. Live in a state of constant confusion. Sales managers can be extremely rude and the company pretty much bows down to them.

Pros

Pay well, good time off practice, but you have to work around the clock to get it.

Cons

Lack of direction, everyone is only focused on making their big salaries at the top. Good ole boys network.
