Pros

The name. Historically the company had great products and leadership, so the strength of this company name is strong in some divisions.

Cons

Constant downsizing & issues with supply chain, quality, and back orders means sales reps are asked to carry unsurpassed responsibility for less money year over year. 24/7 call, zero work-life balance, payroll errors, (even when you are 100% commission), and middle management that has no idea how to lead or motivate sales people. It’s sad. I sold more than I ever had in my 20 year career, exceeded yearly quota by 25% & made less money than I did 5 years ago with $1.5m difference in quota, exceeding attainment then too. That’s not okay.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.
