Pros

As a long time employee for over 2 decades, I have seen a lot. The compensation package is very competitive. The local culture has been great. The autonomy as a sales rep is a big plus. The company allows us to run our business within certain parameters.

Cons

We are now a BIG corporate company. We have always had the ability in the past to make decisions at the local level, but now we seem to be directed by a corporate team. As we have grown, our local levels of management have increased causing a lot of redundancy and poor communication. Our benefits are terrible for a company our size. With each acquisition, our benefits have deteriorated.

Pros

Fair compensation, great leave time, continuous learning, supportive leadership, lots of perks through perks at work, bonus program, annual increase, shall I go on? haha

Cons

The only con as a manager that I can think of is you have to go through a lot to let go of a problem employee.
