Pros

Lots of resources and opportunities to move up and around in such a large company. Almost impossible to get fired unless you are doing a very poor job. Technical resources and upper management experience is top notch, there are a lot of very smart people working at this company.

Cons

Pay is not great, don't expect to be clearing $140,000/year even with great sales numbers. Yearly "merit increases" are always pegged to be less than inflation, so you will consistently see your real salary drop without regular title changes. Work in the field is advertised as a sales role, but a lot of your time will be dedicated to servicing and upkeeping existing customers. Work life balance is not awful, but certainly favors the work end - particularly if you want to be recognized for promotions.

Pros

The pros are four day work week 10 hour days, with many Fridays volunteer overtime They try to make a friendly environment

Cons

The pay is not as good as the other places around the area – odd for a fortune 200 company Daily quotas on work – some of them are unrealistic Many department supervisors – a.k.a. “coaches “ are pretty good – one or two are not. Typically these are the ones that have been there for 25 years plus. 20 minute break in the morning, 20 minute break for lunch 10 minute break in the afternoon You are truly on your feet for majority of the 10 hour day The corporation tries to make a friendly environment, but very few employees involve themselves in it. Much backstabbing among line workforce, not a healthy environment. Line workforce runs to supervisors constantly about other people when they should be concerned about their own work. Management has their favorites and you could see that by who who they talk to, and who Brown noses them
