Pros

Lots of room for growth, great people to work with, good environment in office and when working from home, decent pay for a call center type job role

Cons

More of a call center job than a true sales role, micro management from the department leads and managers, bad policy on use of cell phones in office, suggestions/ideas from specialists to management and up not taken seriously unless the suggestions are already in line with what management wants to do

Pros

If you are an engineer, I suspect you will do very, very well here. It is an engineering outfit; every other employee exists to support engineering (hint hint, know your place).

Cons

Fear seems to be the only mechanism used to influence performance. Feedback was never positive, never upbeat, even when the numbers were met and the stock tripled. Zero opportunities in most departments other than operations and engineering.

Pros

Nothing I can think of except free parking

Cons

They give you unreasonable goals when they are extremely short staffed people walk out and quit everyday they don't want to do anything managers don't care if employees standing around and do nothing then they ask you to do the work for them it's unimaginable that a Fortune 500 company a company that's growing so big treats their employees so horrible when they literally have to increase wages so they can keep people but the wage is you're making still don't make enough because you never see your family I see my family literally maybe 5 hours a week because you work so much 7 days a week for mandatory overtime and when you go home all you want to do is sleep because they work you like a dog. They treat the employees that been there for 10 to 20 years like they are gods and the new people like they are nothing and when you tell them something like about your machine they act like you don't know what you're talking about.
