      Pros

      Laid back, informal and flexible. If you are built status quo, want to show up 8-5 and no stress it's a decent place to work.

      Cons

      It's not built for the motivated and energetic type. Bringing in new ideas and knowledge of a segment usually lead to negative responses and insecurities. Too many levels of management. Poor Pay. Not much room for career growth.

      Pros

      Great working environment and excellent team environment. Perfect work life balance.

      Cons

      Lateral movement is a little difficult due to relatively flat structure. Growth can become stagnant.

      Benefits kept me for 6yrs, but it was miserable.

      Pros

      You cannot beat Garmin's benefits. Their health insurance is absolutely amazing, you start earning PTO when you start work, and they offer some really great deals on products.

      Cons

      I heard from friends this is completely different outside of Operations/Warehouse, but, they treat you so terribly. My department literally had this loud buzzer telling us when we could leave for break and lunch, and when we should be back. Management treats you like you're worthless and they look down on you. The atmosphere was miserable - giving you the mentality to just keep your head down, strive to meet ridiculous numbers, and kiss any thought of a decent raise goodbye. Also, moving up is a rarity in this company, no matter where you are.
