Pros

I learned more here than anywhere else. From learning from experts about every facet of the industry, to sharpening my Excel skills, learning budgeting, merchandising, literature, collateral, product development, cost reductions, inventory--I learned new things in every position.

Cons

Not interested in innovation or intelligent risk-taking. Very little trust of people--every project of $2500 or more had to be signed off all the way to the president of the company! Too much emphasis on reducing costs, not enough on quality.

Pros

Fully remote, collaboration is excellent with Sales and Engineering teams. Nice people.

Cons

Onboarding was awful. Tend to turnover people frequently, always around April and October, which coincides with their fiscal year. HR people are never the same for very long. Medical benefits are ok. Questionable ethics in the Legal & Compliance Dept of all places. It's evidenced with all the legal counsel they have hired, there are more of them than there are customer service people it seems. It pays the bills, but it's not a job one should count on for long term. It seems the strategy is hire with high pay, but let go within a year. Seen it happen to many people.
