Pros

one of the best facilities, and the most driven atmosphere I've experienced.

Cons

It's not very central to the KC area, but not too bad a drive for most.

Pros

Great work life balance. Interesting work on interesting products. Never expected to say late or work more than 40 hours. Great 401k, ESPP and benefits! Great long-term job. Company is expanding into new markets and growing a lot = job security.

Cons

Low turnover rate means it can be difficult to transfer internally.

Pros

Great culture. Great work-life balance. Great benefits. They have really great people working there and produce really cool products.

Cons

Despite Garmin’s great benefits, they aren’t always willing to pay a person what they’re worth. Simply compare your salary to the national average. Or worse, compare your salary to what you’d make on the east or west coast. They also don’t incentivize people to excel with a obvious bonus structure. The people that are passionate about their jobs will always do a good job, but others will see this as an excuse to come in and do the bare minimum. Can be frustrating. BUT! This also reduces the “dog-eat-dog” impulse that can be present in other companies.
