Pros

Great parts inventory, provide you with tools. Mobile app for customers and FSE. Paid vacation.

Cons

Over half of company's field engineers are here on Work Visa's from India.(about 90 FSEs) The company pays these engineers poorly, even though they do their jobs well, have the experience, and do what they are asked. Company also changed their overtime policy quite underhanded at the start of the year. They announced the change of pay at the end of January, but then after looking at paychecks, they actually changed it at the beginning of January without telling anyone. They now advertise time and a half on weekends, but this is not accurate, based on a 40hr work week. Account management have zero technical experience and are given too much power in engineering work. This is not their fault, it is a company problem. No factory training given, only in house. No way to work your way up in the company as a field engineer. CEO has created environment of everyone being scared to say anything. Not paid any extra for being on-call. High deductible insurance plan.

Pros

- privately held company ever since it started back in the 80s. - amazing CEO who has developed a professional yet unique way of running his company. also tells it like it is when it comes to team growth, no bs. - very clear expectations of what is expected in every role they hire for, and they strategically hire based on the goal of the company. - uncapped commission with an above average base salary (unmatched at other companies i had offers for). - leadership has a keen eye for individual strengths and weaknesses, communicating what they are to their employees. - if you put in the work you’re supposed to, your rewards for that work are well earned here. - office environment is unique and took a few months to adjust to but realized the goal of it is for the betterment of ourselves and the company. - treated beyond well, the list goes on.

Cons

- if you find things to complain about, just like at any other job, you’ll find exactly just that.
