Pros

Working with customers Solid product lineup Competitively priced vs competition Market penetration

Cons

Upper management human interaction skills are limited/lacking- and this is the crutch that keeps Tripp from truly exploding forward on two fully functional legs. Pay is below the averages that I've personally seen having left the company.

Broad generalizations can often be inaccurate. The generalizations made in this review may or may not be. The bigger problem is that in casting such a wide net one can miss the opportunity to affect real change in specific areas. In pursuing a strategy of "cleaning house" the potential exists for trading experience and judgment for mere enthusiasm. Such are the tradeoffs in this approach. Your premise here is that all Tripp Lite VPs and EVPs don't get "it" or "have listening skills". This indictment of the talents of so large a group of management personnel seems implausible on its face. It is worth noting that in the IT channel, where Tripp Lite competes in 7 different product categories, we rank 1, 2 or 3 in channel market share in all but 1. A reasonable assumption here is that we are being quite successful in running our business. Success being the object of the exercise after all. We do recognize the benefits of adding new blood to "this old company". Coincidentally just this year we hired a new VP for all International Sales. We also recognize and are quite proud of the fact that we've become "this old company". We've gotten here by making sound business judgments regarding both our products and our people. In fact, we've developed literally thousands of great products at great pricing all while providing outstanding customer service to our customer base for nearly 100 years. Many of our competitors have come and gone over those years. Tripp Lite has not just survived, we have flourished. Your very subjective view of our company is important for us to hear. Its most valuable aspect however is in helping us strive for more and better purely objective results.

Pros

Some very nice people work at Tripp Lite and the products are good and cost a lot less than the competition.

Cons

Company does not provide reports to allow tracking of sales and they do not pay many of their sales representatives the money they are owed.

Pros

Stable and predictable, which might be advantageous if your personal career strategy is based on tenure rather than opportunity.

Cons

A feasible stepping stone but definitely not a landing place. It can work if there is something they can teach you to help you land a career at a real company. Be forewarned that this is a typical manufacturing environment: you join the org as a set of replaceable, disposable hands and the steps above you on the ladder are permanently occupied by nepotites. It is true that they pass out 100$ every now and then, but you are pretty much stationary in terms of advancement.
