Good colleagues, friendly atmosphere, work-life balance
Cons
Hard to find technically challenging work, Very limited growth opportunities and management does promotions on a whim. Most middle managers/directors not technically inclined and have no clarity of direction

Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds like a bit of a mixed bag for you, but we're pleased to hear that the work culture is so positive for you. If you're not finding the work to be challenging enough, we'd recommend some honest conversations with your manager around your goals and any development needs you may have. We even offer a course focused on "fierce conversations" that may help!
I love my co workers and the ability to make my customers happy. Benefits are alright and I do like the products.
Cons
Modern marketing is non existent and the company has been taken over by sweater vest tech bros who feel phony at best. This company is too large to innovate or be nimble, yet too small to acquire new things to sell. Salaries are just so low now that I might need to leave, then come back just to get a pay raise. I’m seeing similar jobs posted for 20% more base than I make 10 years in. No transparency on advancements and annual raises do not reflect effort and making too close to plan on sales just sets you up for failure in the next year. I’d say use this company for a few years then move on.
