Pros

Home to great products—the industry standards for decades. Fellow low-level employees are knowledgeable and passionate. They were generous with the vacation time (though that's stopped now), and the employee discounts are fantastic.

Cons

Slightly lower pay than other companies. A long, slow decline in stature and industry prominence. Long hours and stress. But all those are minor next to the horrific, depressing, painful ineptitude of executive management, who drove a good company right into the ground. The good, industry-oriented executives were all pushed out in favor of "numbers people", who have no understanding of the market segment they allegedly serve.

Pros

• Some coworkers try to support each other despite the environment • You quickly learn how to handle stress (whether you want to or not)

Cons

• Toxic and reactive management style • Constantly shifting expectations with little to no clear direction • Unrealistic workload with pressure to meet metrics that don’t reflect reality • Lack of accountability from leadership—issues are pushed down instead of addressed • Poor communication across the board, leading to confusion and wasted time • Employees are not supported • Burnout is common and ignored
