Pros

Good benefits compared to other companies. (Gym use benefit, salary loan, convertible to cash leaves, medical reimbursement, midyear and Christmas bonuses) Some seniors are very helpful and fun to work with, making work stress manageable. There are a lot of clubs based on your interest.

Cons

Workload increases first before your promotion. (that is if ever you will be endorsed to be promoted) No technical training is available for you to be marketable outside the company. Promotion and annual salary increases are low. It can't keep up with the inflation rate. Management favors investing in hiring new hires than keeping tenured employees with more knowledge on the technicalities and workflows. Patent incentive is a taxable and one time incentive that is too low as compensation for your intellectual property. Monthly logging of daily work hours is a counterproductive and tedious task since every employee handles multiple projects at once.

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.
