Pros

Some managers are a pleasure to work with and know their stuff and are extremely helpful. Pretty good at providing supplies and work space. Open to work at home and alternative work schedules within reason.

Cons

Many line and senior managers are extremely incompetent at managing employees. Too much favoritism based on years of service. If you've been here a long time you are a diety, if you haven't no one cares about you. Promotion is almost non-existent unless you've been here for a long time. Company runs under the guise of being employee friendly but really is out to screw the employee in the end for their own benefit.

Pros

Okay salary. PST is good. Its just a job...

Cons

Compensation is constantly changed to take money out of the sellers. I believe they have perfected it now. Incompetent Managers. Benefts are not great. Promotions are non existent unless you are a huge brown noser and back stabber to your fellow employees. You cant trust any above you. Only brown nosers get recognition, everyone else gets talked down to. No career here.
