Pros

full benefits plus 401k are good, secured, gated parking with security guards but can be a hassle if you misplace your badge; employee appreciation gifts; discounts on new car purchase

Cons

moving on to a new dpt within the company is corporate politics as usual, it is not what you know but who you know and how much butt you kiss. micromanagement at its worst describes the atmosphere

Pros

good comp plan and benefits, good people all around, interesting and challenging work

Cons

some execs not big on promotions and recognition, have attitude that employees are lucky to have a job, very different cultures between departments and not a lot of collaboration between some of the execs, the newer crop of exec leadership in PM, Sales and Ops seems to be more innovative than the older execs (who may be waiting to cash in on their stock and don't want to make risky moves in fear of tipping the cash cow)

Pros

Work from home Nice sales reps to work with for the most part Lots of travel Lots and lots of training Good pay Good benefits

Cons

Poor management This job is data entry not sales Burnout is common 2 years is average employment time This company is aware of the huge gap from management to sales team, and does not care. Management is not true management, and is not trained in management, so there is a huge issue with attempting to do job with uphill battle.
