Pros

I really can't think of any. Choice of the company they use for Benefits. However you may need them if you get pricked by a needle. The happiest day of my life was running out the door on my last day.

Cons

They are unethical. I have seen management yell at employees, bully tactic they will call you into the office and beat you down for up to six hours. If they don't like you. You will get the worst truck without heat or air. Nasty no training. Some to the stupidest people I've ever met. They act and talk like hoodlums and brag about their salaries. The smell of the factory is enough to make you sick. They treat the workers uncivilized and degrading. Be careful don't make friends they spy on you. They lead you into talking and conference your manager in without you knowing. (or the idiot thought you didn't know, duhhh) Good luck you will need it! I'm not disgruntled just so grateful to be out of there! I'm making 17 thou more a yr!

Great benefits, poor leadership

District sales manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great overall benefits and compensation. Stock option program is one of the best I have seen if you can stick around for the duration.

Cons

The sales practices and leadership in the SQ division have been poor for many years. Lack of accountability, creativity of strategy which leads to recycled teams and turnover. If you dont leave on your own you will soon be pushed out. Leadership is more concerned about managing their own careers rather than leading people.
