Pros

Your experience is dependent on who your manager is. You could have the best experience or the worse. I've seen very intelligent people who were there for 10+ years randomly reassigned to another manager and their lives become living hell. Pay is higher than average for minimal work. Annual raises and bonuses.

Cons

If they don't like you anymore, they'll just be mean to you until you quit. A lot of people gets lay offs when their stocks crash, which happens often. It's a big corporation so your hard work will go unrecognized. They change the company structure every year. HR is a joke.

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.
