Pros

Just like in any other place, there are descent people above you (nevetheless, they cannot deliver on promises because the multiple-layer structure and mentality).

Cons

Corporate mentality is so rampant here. It just puts you in a complete circle and makes you feel that you have gotten absolutely nowhere. Just stuck in a rut.

Pros

Good co-workers, good product line.

Cons

Ineffective mid-level management combined with terrible senior management that lacks integrity. No upward mobility, chronyism, dishonest "bonus" as a part of salary, offshoring of engineering services, decliining customer base to more efficient and better run competitors. Product line has few unique attributes that can't be better produced by other companies.

Pros

Great sales and marketing position, with great exposure to market due to breadth of portfolio. Create your own schedule, good benefits (car, phone, med, etc) Technical experts and staff second to none. Old company promised good return for good work, you reap what you sow.

Cons

Management (ELC) gets in the way of progress and growth Stifilng of regional management to conform to a National model which doesn't work, since engineering/construction markets are regional. Nationalization has alienated customers and compromised product quality. Inability of management to embrace 21st Century "Consultative Selling" of highly engineered systems and "Value Added" approach to customers. Pressure to conform to Corporate initiatives for performance metrics, such as number of calls per week and reporting, rather than letting the sales numbers speak for success. Company let too many good people go without realizing how poorly they would be missed and how underappreciated they were.
