      Pros

      Steady paycheck and benefits plus 401k. Clean and controlled environment. No one breathing down your neck. Also they give you polos for work though xl is sometimes a bit hard to come by.

      Cons

      NO way to move up the ranks unless you're related to someone of come from a certain area of the world. Also management since they're all friends and family, most aren't qualified individuals for their positions.

      Pros

      Culture, People and Customer focus. Quality of the products and services. A fun place to work, but it was work hard and play hard. Great deal of respect for all grades and roles across the business. A sense of shared enthusiasm, values and genuine pride. Quality of the people across the board was very high.

      Cons

      Internal IT could be a little more user focused particularly the collaboration tech, which was substandard for a global business. Benefits package although improving was below industry averages particularly in the areas of base pay, pension, and travel allowances etc. The biggest pain was the sales compensation process & system, or lack of a working one during my tenure. However there was a focus on fixing this in my latter time there.
