Pros

Hard to find any sometimes. Employee Scholar Program is good, as long as you are in a department that will be flexible with your work schedule.

Cons

Very hostile and stat driven. Extreme lack of communication between departments. Training is minimal and sometimes non-existent. Pay is very low compared to similar positions elsewhere. Constantly put in positions where I am forces to lie to customers. Management doesn't understand the products or the jobs of their subordinates. Sales reps do not understand the products they are selling. HR would rather you not talk to them, period. Hiring practices are seriously shady. Overall, this company is just a series of bad decisions.

Pros

The company offers competitive pay and a strong benefits package, including a good 401(k), charitable donation matching, and other valuable benefits. Success here often comes to those who are willing to prioritize the company's demands and fully commit to its work culture.

Cons

The culture is one of the most toxic I have experienced. There is an expectation that employees are available around the clock, making work-life balance nearly impossible. Teams are routinely expected to absorb the responsibilities of multiple positions while resources continue to shrink and bonuses become less rewarding. Leadership often relies on fear and pressure rather than inspiration. Instead of creating optimism and empowering employees, messaging frequently centers on competition, missed expectations, and what the company is doing wrong. That tone cascades throughout the organization and creates an environment where people are afraid to speak up or take risks. In my experience, concerns about leadership behavior and workplace culture did not appear to be addressed in a meaningful way. This left many employees feeling unsupported and contributed to low morale, high turnover, and burnout.
