Pros

Good work-life balance Central San Diego location (UTC) Flexible hours Chance to learn telecommunications industry For the most part good and hard-working people

Cons

Penny wise and dollar foolish Constantly operating in a reactive mode and being at the mercy of carriers No product-related decision is allowed to be made locally and everything goes to Japan for approval Forget about upward mobility unless you are Japanese Two weeks of vacation in telecom industry (WTF!!!) Leadership positions assigned based on the number of decades a person has been with the company and not whether one has talent for it. Ringi is something one will never forget.

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.
