Pros

- great PTO and summer schedule for reps - company car for field reps - supportive management despite the industry climate

Cons

- struggling industry - no distinct differentiating qualities from the competition - old products are dreadfully dated and new products lack adequate market testing - roadmap feels more like a disaster preparedness plan

Pros

Benefits, company car, flexible hours, freedom to run your business as you see fit (technically). Many coworkers are wonderfully nice people that will support you where they can.

Cons

Incompetent management fighting against the current of a dying industry. No ability to keep up with technology or industry trends. Always playing catch up with competitors. Talent leaves for other jobs in which they are appreciated. Training was limited at best. Imagine even worse with less managers since layoffs. Nobody cares if you struggle. You're thrown to the wolves and told to "figure it out".

Pros

I work with some fun and creative people. I am paid competitively. In fact it's been hard to get interviews elsewhere because of the great salary.

Cons

Management and leadership are lacking. People that are great leaders end up finding other work. The company takes it as a point of pride not to backfill the position. Project management? Nonexistent. Teams are expected to report up to PDs who require task dates, contingencies, escalation paths, etc. yet the company does not provide us with software to track our work. We are using EXCEL. Management says they want the team to have more time to be creative and do new things. Then they overload you with projects. As far as I can tell, there is no system in place to determine who gets which project--it's a matter of knowing when to say "no" when asked to work on projects. Which is bad management if you ask me, especially if you're not staffed up to deal with attrition. The department had a reorg but everyone is unclear on how it's supposed to work in practice. Systems are put in place without evaluating how people can/will use them which results in more confusion and additional work. I could go on but it's exhausting. I think you get the gist.
