      Steady Paycheck..... That's it

      Pros

      Hands on with devices, not just manuals Good benefits, medical, dental, vision, etc. Great employee discount on devices and with other companies for other products Pleasant coworkers Not overly metric driven No call time restriction with a customer Fun activities to participate in like corp challenge and marathon and game nights

      Cons

      Slow computers for a tech company Management will "blacksheep" you if you have any mistakes (metrics, attendance, etc) Lots of supervisors were hired from outside the company instead of promoting from within, no advancement opportunities Not a challenge, just a steady check, gets repetitively boring being a robot that talks Low on the pay scale

      Pros

      Garmin is very engineer oriented and offers excellent benefits. You get to work on products that customers use in their daily lives. Garmin affords plenty of opportunities to move up.

      Cons

      New employee training isn't very well developed, especially for new college grads. Also, not quite as much vacation time as others in the tech field

      Sometimes fun, sometimes dull

      Pros

      Best reason was team members and projects you get to work on. Products are cutting edge but work can get monotonous with time. Excitment at work depends on the team you are on.

      Cons

      Once you do something, you keep getting assigned same tasks for next projects and it gets boring.
