Pros

Nice People, Solid Benefits, Great Partners, Decent Overall Plan, Known Name in the Market

Cons

Micro-management at it's fullest definition of the word. Hire you because of your ideas, but they don't want you to be creative, the want to go with the old plan that has always worked. Push they want you to focus on large opportunity discovery, then when you do they say that is now how they do business, "get someone on first, then get them over to second, and keep going that way. don't try to hit a homerun on every play." Work travel is 100% on non-work hours, even if that means a redeye flight to get you to your 9:00 meeting on Monday.

Tripp Lite Response
9y
We are in disagreement with your statement as to our turnover rate--particularly as it relates to that of our competitors. We monitor and track those very statistics regularly. While the data we review is imperfect, it is directionally correct and indicates our length of service average is significantly longer that the industry average for this type of position. It is difficult to intelligently respond to the claims of "several people" who "heard that one of our directors was the worst to work for". There is simply too much ambiguity regarding who said this, where they heard it from and which director (we have many) they are referring to. We don't mean to make light of your comments as you clearly feel strongly about them. It would simply be much more constructive if we knew more specifics about the behavior you found objectionable. Surely we can improve and want very much to do so, on this subject as well as others. Lastly, while we have many male managers at Tripp Lite, we also have many female managers. We reject the reference to the existence of a "Boy's Club". For the record our Vice President of Marketing is a woman. We also have multiple female sales directors, both Domestic and International, female product marketing managers, female software development Managers and female engineering managers. It is unfortunate that in your tenure of less than a year we have managed to leave such a bad taste in your mouth. We thank you for your feedback and hope your current engagement suits you better.
