Pros

Salaries are competitive, people in the office are friendly.

Cons

Bose tends to hire senior talent and have them only do operational work with a top-down do-as-I say style of management. Employees tend to be scared of voicing opinions towards management and limit themselves to implementation plans. There is a hush-hush culture and information is not freely shared across the organization. They treat employees as disposable resources and there’s quite some examples of employees leaving in less than good terms. It’s a shame since there is a lot of nice and talented people , but many of operate on minimum effort / autopilot given the lack of room for talent development.

Pros

Very good pay and monthly bonus (If you do well in sales) Great staff discount Easy to sell product (for the most part)

Cons

Inability to work autonomously as per upper managements style of doing things. Despite the company fostering a culture of giving feedback, said feedback falls on deaf ears if it conflicts with the agenda of Upper Management. Used to be much better before the "global realignment" Limited progression opportunities Very fast turnover of staff in many stores

Cons

the Company is in a period of change with lots of confusion and disengaged employee: it is not an easy environment and in many ares the Company does not represent a benchmark as it does with its products.
