Pros

The co-workers were amazing most of the time. Company matching 401k but that is slowly decreasing. 3 weeks paid vacation starting.

Cons

Lack of communication too many managers that lie and then later promoted. Managers in positions they have no experience in and lack the Education. Management is out of touch with day-to-day operations. Do as I say rather than lead by example attitudes. Outsourcing is their biggest accomplishment. CEO seems clueless.

Pros

With only a few exceptions the people here are great.

Cons

Its common for the company to only do two annual raises every 3 years by pushing several of them out by 6 months at a time. This has been constant over the past 7 years so expect it to continue. Work and responsibilities are independent of title so you could be doing work well above your pay grade. The promotions recently have been for MUCH lower percentages and amounts than 5 years ago. There is a large disconnect between R&D and other departments which cause them to push completely unrealistic timelines and schedules and then get upset when they had no chance of being met. Base pay is low (10-25k below state avg) and we've had trouble for several years hiring new talent, because so few people will accept the terrible pay. It likely won't change until people start leaving, and even then it'll just lead to those that stay behind getting more work and new hires still not coming in.

Pros

Strong Leadership. Managers take their job seriously and care about their work. Strict rules to follow, easy to access and understand. Trainers are knowledgeable and good at setting new employees up for success. Decent health plans, Dental & Vision included.

Cons

Call Center environment, noisy coworkers, takes a while to get the shift you want. New entry level employees are being paid higher wages than higher level longtime employees.
