Pros

The medical plan, sick time and 3 weeks vacation is good. The 401K match is below average.

Cons

I have worked at Aspen for 4 years. They have hired a group to fix their image because they cannot keep employees for long. The Management doesn't approve vacations, even when no one else is on the vacation calendar because of coverage issues. There has been no room for growth. They state there teams are "lean and mean" and they really are. During this last snow storm, an email from the CEO went out that you can work from home if you coordinate it with your Manager but then your Manager does not approve it so you have to come in if you are a low level worker while other members of the Team can work from home. They have hired a team to help improve their image, and some of these positive posts must be written by them. Really, if you want to be stressed, get sick, and be constantly treated poorly, accept the job here. If not, you are better to look else where. I have had enough!

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.
