Pros

-Very good health insurance -Nice corporate office with plenty of "creature comforts" -Ethical and genuinely interested in doing the right thing -Strong work-life balance programs; but most people are too overworked to take advantage of them

Cons

-Compensation equity issues and lack of pay for individual performance -Limited advancement opportunities for stellar performers and high potentials; leads to a culture of extreme competitiveness for a limited number of development track roles in Sales & Marketing -Very hierarchical "yes" culture, which is overly process driven -Not a good place for experienced hires and longer term employees who aren't at Director level

Pros

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
