Pros

Great teamwork and respect from other employees. The products are exciting and there is a good level of flexibility in hours to manage a balanced personal life.

Cons

The company is slow to react to markets. It's not as innovative as it thinks it is. The opportunities for career advancement are dependent on who the management is rather than being consistent throughout the company.

Pros

- Great benefits and bonuses - This is fun sales, other than selling clothes in most retail industries - Quality stereo equipment; not too hard to sell

Cons

- Terrible upper management, especially at this store - Hard to get time off - do not see that you balance personal life and work life - Long days when you are in school as well

Pros

Great group of peers at the engineer level. Product discounts. Company is pretty stable. Good beneifts. Decent starting salaries, just don't stay too long or you'll fall behind the rest of the world. This was a great environment 5 years ago.

Cons

IT workers viewed as commodities and not valued by IT management and their superiors, all the way to the top. Input is largely disregarded by management. Lots of politics. Very secretive. Ask folks who are in the trenches; they're not happy. The IT organization has really gone down hill in the last 5 years
