Pros

Generous vacation time, company car for managers, stock purchase at a discount from paycheck and hourly employees can earn thousands of extra dollars monthly in sales incentive. Hourly employees at this company can do VERY well if they are good salespeople. There is ample room for advancement for managers if they are willing to relocate often.

Cons

Every year, we seem to push the panic button earlier and earlier. The 4th quarter is very hard on all employees. The small local branches can't pay for simple things like tires and oil changes without jumping through hoops. It is easier to give up than fight for credit card approval, which is why problem cars get dumped at airports. The airport locations wind up laying people off (often right around the holidays), which destroys morale and hurts customer service in a MAJOR way.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
