Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Nice office aesthetics.

Cons

Working at Brother has absolutely nothing to do with job performance and everything to do with politics. If you are not part of the Inner Circle you will know it by Day 3 and nothing you do will change that. If you are part of the Inner Circle, you can do a mediocre job, act unprofessionally (even nasty) toward other coworkers who are trying to learn the job, chat excessively with other others at their desks and make hour-long personal phone calls from your cube/office without management batting an eye. There is very obvious competition among management so managers have little time or interest in giving staff training and direction. Although I requested such on several occasions, I received virtually none from my manager. All non-management employees need to punch a daily time clock (yes, punch a clock!) and actually punch in and out for lunch! Yes, you have read that correctly! Really??? Any good manager will know when their staff is working. The ironic thing is, based on my comments above, the punching a time clock thing only measures the time you are sitting at your desk, not actually working, which for many is a very small portion of the business day. If you have the integrity to work hard, be professional and learn on the job, this is NOT the company for you.

Pros

The company has great benefits.

Cons

It's not a safe community to work at if you are a women. I was told to send pictures of my outfits to my boss before going to events. I also had my boss brag to me that a prostitute was trying to pick him in which he told several coworkers. There is so much excessive drinking at this company. I've worked in this industry for 15 years and I've never seen a company allow so many inappropriate behaviors. The highest level of HR would rather party than protect women especially when women have been complained about being touched by someone inappropriate and then they get in trouble.
