Pros

My coworkers for the most part are nice. My current supervisor does not micromanage but most do there. You get your birthday off now paid.

Cons

After working there for over 10 years I have learned that I am stuck. I am extremely good at what I do so they will not let me move to a different department or advance me any further where I am at. I am expected to do more work than others and paid pathetically for it. I started at a low wage to begin with. Way lower than other companies I came to find. And lower than others that started around the same time. And over the years they have hired new technicians who get paid more than I did when I started and know a lot less. Raises are sad. Barely COLA. And they are not keeping up with industry standards. If you work hard you would think your raise would reflect it. They do not here. In fact the person who does little to no work will get almost the same raise as you. Turnover in technical support is high. Really really high! Most people do not last past the year mark. I think because training is a joke and they throw you into it. The stress level is high and they seem to pile on more work...for the same pay. There are several supervisors that micromanage. And there are managers that do the same thing. And it really does not matter how well you do your job if they do not like you the chances of you going anywhere is nil.

Pros

I have to write 20 words but there is no Pros to working here unless you know someone or have an in with someone in management.

Cons

Where to start? People are actively leaving the company because it really isn't a great company. The CEO told us to write a review because its clear only bad reviews were on here to try to up the reputation. They are only concerned about how they look but not what they do. Management has lost track of how to even perform a daily job, unless sitting there staring at a computer screen telling people to be on the phones is an actual job. No compensation for doing great work unless you are in sales so there isn't a point to even try to better your career. Management picks out favorites and doesn't promote people who actually put in the time and effort to deserve it. If you do one thing wrong you better believe that your life at Applied will forever be dictated on it instead of the thousands of good things you do great. You will get paid significantly less than anyone else in the same position at any other company. You will also make less than the new person just starting in your same current position because pay increases are horrible.

Pros

Great co workers, ability to telecommute in most departments.

Cons

The same negative stuff everyone else said. No advancement - literally NONE Managers don't care about employees A lot of work with little compensation - need better raises Supervisors have no supervisor experience so they have no idea what they are doing. Favoritism gets you everywhere. Way too much micromanaging. Turnover is high which is why they are always looking to hire.
