Pros

The coffee machines have been upgraded and they are now stocking real tea bags in the coffee rooms instead of the pouches. The use it or lose it vacation policy has been change and you can carry over 5 days.

Cons

Abusive behavior by managers is is not only tolerated but encouraged and rewarded. Now that the employment market seems to be picking up, turnover has increased. Employees are doing phone interviews in the hallways, building lobby, and in their cars. Managers rationalize the increased turnover by saying that employees are leaving because they can't take the pace when the real reason is that they don't want to continue working for an abusive company. Don't expect that higher levels of management or HR will do anything. The higher levels are the ones who reward these managers and HR won't do anything because they are too afraid.

Pros

Good products with large customer base. Product development is innovative and willing to work directly with customers. Base pay for sales reps is improving after the acquisition by Emerson Electric. The Emerson Electric acquisition is received positively by the customers. Internal training is good and readily available. Collaboration between the various departments is excellent.

Cons

New management is focused on running the sales organization by spreadsheet metrics vs. obtaining and improving customer relationships. Product pricing and sales approval processes are very complex. Customers are seen as captives and when they request reasonable changes to their contract, they are often denied if there is not significant revenue growth (results in bad relationships). Sales management is spending more time in internal meetings than with customers and their reps.
