Pros

TONS of downtime. Corporate training module designed to really prepare you for your job. Decent pay for the amount of work you'll do. Excellent discounts on product.

Cons

Raises are awful, you'll be lucky to get 1-2% per year. Corporate is more interested in their agenda than their people. This wasn't the case 10+ years ago but the corporate mentality has changed. Products are generally behind the times. Bose used to be a leader in technology, now it waits until the technology is commonplace before introducing it into their products. No consistency between divisions of the company. The store can trade in your damaged product for one price, but you can almost guarantee that if you call tech support, you'll pay less. Opportunities for promotion are few and far between.

Pros

Great team to work with. All of them are passionate about the work and have outstanding individual design skills that reflect in the products they release.

Cons

The team is getting smaller and smaller, much like some reviews, the company seems to care less about the future development.
