Pros

As long as you keep your head down and don't stir the pot, you will never run into any issues. Benefits are actually quite good, you just have to look for them on your own.

Cons

Career growth here is a joke. Management is inept and full of dinosaurs. Managers are shuffled from one department to another, completely clueless of actual needs of the company and it's employees. We had multiple group brainstorming sessions to increase morale, where employees from multiple departments were experiencing the same issues that I was. However, none of these initiatives were actually deployed and employees were left drained and hopeless. I was not able to move to another department, location or role. Literally locked in without a path. Discussions about promotions happen once a year at annual reviews and you better hope the economy is in a good place, otherwise they will give you every excuse under the sun why they won't promote you. I left on my own accord because I could see no future.

Pros

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.
