Go for experience, not a career.

Pros

Good discounts. Good benefits. Decent vacation benefits. Not a lot of great things to say other than this.

Cons

Very clicky atmosphere, your success is only partly based on performance. The pay is quite poor. At the beginning the pay is decent, however, the lack of salary growth means you are making much less in the long-term. Upper management is not at all honest with employees and tries to maintain a cheerleader mentality no matter what. Education does not matter. Many managers had no degree and no clue; they made up for lack of knowledge by being very controlling and unethical.

Pros

Most people are great, product discounts, makerspace, awesome young talent

Cons

location stinks, marketing org is all a popularity game. If you've been there 5 or more years be on your toes because you might be next for layoffs. Low upward mobility, promotions only come to those who are tight with leadership

Pros

The company provided decent benefits.

Cons

Management doesn't know how to run an effective repair center. Team tailgate or what is left of them. Repair center is getting shut and outsourced to a company in Mexico.
