Pros

I have worked here a few years and think everyone's situation may be very different depending on one's role and his or her expectations. That said, it is the most family-like environment I have ever worked in, the people are truly great, there is an Absolute focus on family and work/life balance including early release days, spontaneous as well as planned happy hours, company picnics and holiday parties, and a general feeling of being part of a community and not just a cog in the wheel. Employees are routinely acknowledged for doing outstanding jobs and I think people genuinely care about people, doing the right thing and providing great service and products. Employees work very well together and try to help each other, instead of saying 'that's not my job' as I've experienced in previous workplaces. In my opinion things have only changed for the better as management has changed - very positive and approachable leaders who are taking the company in a positive direction and seem to value their colleagues. Hard work is typically noticed and rewarded.

Cons

work from home options are rare, though the accommodations on-site are pretty great. Not a lot of potential to move "up" or learn a new area without setting off warning bells. A bit of a tech industry and probably not a perfect fit for everyone.

Pros

Only a few products to learn and sell. Only a few processes and systems to learn. For my particular office they bring in free lunch once a month or so. They pay for public transportation, so the train, subway, or bus is free for commuters

Cons

No way to control your own sales strategy and process. Management is involved in every aspect of your job from approving emails before you send them to customers to approving sales proposals. No room to price at the maximum or minimum guidelines based on your own knowledge of the customer and your proven sales strategies. They change the rules constantly. No consistency. Very little training material to reference. They state that in order to move up in sales, you have to have ten years. Only two levels of sales people. 401K match only vests 25% a year. They only have Cigna as a choice for healthcare. If you are ill, management makes you take vacation days, even if its a half day. Very little vacation time up front.
