Pros

It was in a good location in La Jolla. The parking is ample, the work is alright, and you have relatively good control of how you want to spend your time as you are not micromanaged.

Cons

The people aren't that freindly. The morale here is pretty low for the most part as there have been multiple layoffs recently. The turnover is fairly high as people will always seek better paying jobs and move. Not to mention Kyocera phones?? Talk about bottom tier in the phone industry. Their focus is more on cheap price and with that, comes low innovation and a cheap product. Japan rules in decision making, so if you are working in America, you have no voice, just follow what our brethens in Japan say or you will get the boot.

Pros

Paychecks come on time, they have a decent rep in the ceramic packaging world. I worked with some wonderful people.

Cons

This is not a sales job, your are managing accounts with no incentive. QA issues non stop, legal issues, payment, anything and everything comes back on "sales". Every day was a new fire that always felt like preparing for a deposition where each employee starts pointing fingers at one another. Horrible moral. Depends heavily on your direct management. I'll just say that I had emailed some of the issues i was having to my manager (something I've never had to do my entire career) and nothing changed, except that they had logged into my email and deleted it so there was no record. It was not a good situation.
