Pros

The pay for sales was decent for a while when they brought in qualified, experienced sales professionals. I liked my colleagues- we could commiserate over beers together.

Cons

The last few years the best sales people have left and they replace them with younger less experienced college grads. Management and HR have little clue what motivates people and they prefer younger sales engineers that they can mold and make them believe this is how it is everywhere. Growth every year is difficult based on their commission plan. Ask them to explain IN DEPTH the "delta" commission plan before signing on- most good sales people leave after a good year because the self defeating plan makes consecutive successful years nearly impossible. This is the definition of "Old Boy Network"- if you don't want to brown nose you are best getting out.

Pros

Friendly work environment with helpful and encouraging people. Strong sense of family amongst the sales team. The company produces excellent products. Benefits are fantastic. Fun social gatherings that really help to bring everyone together as a team.

Cons

Employees are encouraged to share their complaints and are then shunned for it when they do. Negative feedback is seen as the employee not being a "team player". Very far behind in technology and slow to adapt to the times. The IT department is extremely painful to deal with due to controling and manipulative management. Takes forever to get anything from them and even their staff seem disgruntled with management. No room for advancement in most departments.

Pros

Really strong family/team atmosphere. Compensation was decent, my manager was great.

Cons

Management does not deal with slackers - at. all. Instead they get rid of people they don't like and don't fire people that should have been gone long ago - who contribute nothing and even create a hostile environment.
