      Pros

      I get an office with a door and in general my direct supervisor isn't a micro manager. People rarely get fired, and if they do it takes years, so if you just want to do the minimum and get by, you'll have a job forever.

      Cons

      Theory and practice are two different things. The culture sounds great on paper, but it's not the same in practice. Compensation is great in theory, but for some reason it's never executed like theory. I feel like I'm being watched all the time and there's a general lack of accountability for the people who screw up. Instead, GP uses group punishment - instead of dealing with problem employees, everyone gets punished.

      Pros

      Good benefits: great 401k match Health insurance

      Cons

      Moving up is who you know and kissing ass and not based on performance. Also you're more likely to move up first you're male & white Focus is on all the wrong things. High level of favoritism, pettiness, politics & bureaucracy MBM is used as a weapon 100,000% of the time. Sometimes it's almost occultish. A culture that will eventually not work because they refuse to move with the changes of the world GP packaging may not last long; all sales rep do is maintain old accounts and not get new accounts They talk of challenging the process but that only applies to management. If you're at the bottom don't try to challenge just hush & get your money
