Pros

Great growth opportunity Culture is awesome - family-like team environment ( LOVE the sales team I support - respect and champion my work; value and appreciate my work ) Management is great also - they really want you to achieve your goals Friendly, competitive environment ( competitive with one another yet still cheer each other on, we're not out to steal each other's jobs ) Hard work does NOT go unnoticed ( respect hard workers & ambitious people ) #1 product in the industry Great health & vacation benefits Management does NOT micro-manage Work along side some of the BEST in the industry; always willing to share and collaborate with you Offer tons of training material on products, industry, competition, etc.

Cons

No 401K Finance ( & budgeting ) is a bit stingy Lack of technology to assist with job ( which is changing since a new director was hired - plans on adding key business development technologies to help us with our job )

Pros

The team is diverse and due it being a large company, procedures are pretty established. That's literally it.

Cons

Uncommunicative staff, uncertainty and lack of communication when it comes to job security, and cold impersonal treatment that makes people feel like robots instead of humans. Employees are getting replaced by AI because of the greedy investment firm that owns this company so if you work here, good luck to you-management is actively trying to replace you my love! The hilarious part is that they don't even try to hide it and they try to make it seem like a positive thing that you will be out of a job due to AI with their ludicrous All Hands meetings and presenting their dystopian AI implementations in a positive light. Ridiculous! Micromanaging is extreme to the point where it's laughable. In my 10 years of being in the workforce I have never seen this level of silly nitpicking. I am in a constant state of anxiety and never knowing where I stand with management. Entry level employees are disposable and middle management is overworked, often doing the jobs of several entry level employees and working weekends to save the company money which is so heartbreaking.
