Lucrative Gig, Risky Career

Pros

Above average pay, excellent ethics, good products, strong sales team, very profitable. Many of the employees, especially newer and lower level are really nice people.

Cons

Deceptively high employee terminations, especially in the Carmel office. Talk to some recently departed employees before accepting a job here. Frequent organizational changes result in many firings, especially for newer employees. The reality is they could deliver sales for years with just the sales and manufacturing teams, everyone else is disposable. Don't be their Bic lighter. Leadership is highly technology adverse despite superb marketing efforts to convince you otherwise (these are for investors, not for employees) Sales team is the strength of the company, but many are nearing retirement age.

Pros

- relaxed office - casual dress code - unlimited PTO

Cons

Leadership has no plans to get what they want. They come up with targets and then expect the execution to be pushed from the bottom up. Talented people are leaving everyday, from leadership roles to entry level positions. There are so many politics at play and HR does nothing to reprimand those who are killing the culture. 2 years ago I would have recommended everyone I know to work there and now I am helping my friends that still do find other jobs. This place is taking on water, and it's only a matter of time before the profits sink just like the culture already has begun.

Pros

Well established brands that are recognized within the industry as premium products. There is a good competitive pay structure for the sales team, with decent bonuses that pay out well.

Cons

Since this company spun off from Ingersoll Rand it has taken a very specific path towards "revenue" growth and revenue growth only, at any cost. Upper management is only interested in satisfying shareholders, they have no interest in the people that make their company strong. They can get away with this in the short term because of the strength of the brands, however, it is a dangerous path for long term success. Eventually this will lead to the weakening of their sales force. If you are considering employment with this company, I would strongly suggest that you ask the difficult questions. Put yourself in a position of strength and force them to address these issues. The competitive pay scale that they will likely offer will be difficult to pass up, but if you are looking for a long-term career I would strongly consider alternate employers.
