Pros

Good people, modernized facilities, and good learning experience.

Cons

Negative upper management. Its all about the V.P's and directors hitting there numbers to line there pockets. If numbers are low all departments have extra pressure put on them to perform. Lack of positive feedback, and the expectations required are often unrealistic. The company philosophy is to over manage and micro manage, this often includes verbal jabs and threats about loosing your job. Most of the employees in my department are currently looking for employment elsewhere. The dealer network is also burnt out on management putting pressure on them for more growth. The tensions in the air are so thick you could cut it like a knife thru butter. Pay is below industry equivalents, management has the attitude of "to bad there are plenty of others that would be happy to have the position"

Pros

No background checks. Good for people needing a job quickly.

Cons

Where to start? Poor leadership on all levels. A bunch of talk about quality and the customer but are happy pushing out inferior product and dealing with it later, but then blame all the workers (via no quarterly bonus due to impossible metrics they have little/ no control over) instead of correcting the workers responsible. They are SO CHEAP. Cheap in pay, cheap in providing what employees need in a timely manner or if ever, cheap in benefits, cheap all the way around. They want drones, not humans. Very high turnover rate. A lot of promises and little follow up. If you sign up for the annual company picnic and cant make it, they take money directly out of your check for each person signed up to go. Poor training. Reactive, not proactive.
