Circling the Drain

Pros

Good therapies. It used to be a 5star job.

Cons

They continue to slash and capped commissions without explanation. Within weeks of a national meeting where the sales force was praised they roll out a commission plan that is completely disincentivizing. Morale has been as low as I’ve ever seen it and no one trusts the leadership. There isn’t a single person in upper management who will standup and be accountable for these decisions. They have decided to increase profits by taking it out of the sales force's compensation.

Pros

Life changing products. On site fitness center. Nice location south of Houston with a plenty of options to eat out. Strong engineering talent and functional leadership. People are generally hardworking, compassionate, and helpful.

Cons

Houston, we've a problem! Current environment is very stressful due to extremely aggressive project timelines and lack of top management's respect for employees. Engineers are constantly challenged on their ability to deliver. No Work-life balance - focus on work only and kiss your personal life good bye. Project management is non existent, project scope keeps growing while timelines keep shrinking and as a result individuals working 60-70 hours every week is the norm. Lots of good people left recently and the trend may continue if no corrective actions are taken.

A Lost Cause

Pros

Consistent paycheck and learning how to deal with the most difficult people ever in a corporate environment.

Cons

The cons definitely outweigh the pros. If you’re lazy and don’t like change, lack accountability, and enjoy terrorizing your team this is the place for you. There’s no words to describe how HR turns the blind eye to how senior leadership treats their teams. Keeping the same people in charge for decades has been detrimental to this company. If you’d like a vision of what it’s like to work here watch ‘Mean Girls’ and prepare yourself for being fed a bunch of BS about how they are making improvements.
