      Pros

      Big company with lots of room for advancement and learning new things. International exposure and almost every manufacturing industry is under one roof.

      Cons

      Big company with lots of people elbowing for advancement. Easy to get lost in the shuffle. Good luck learning your bosses names - they will have moved on within 6 months. Get used to constant change.

      Incredible Opportunity

      Pros

      Flexibility with schedule, benefits are amazing, travel is all-expenses paid, company well known in the industry and has great reputation, management seems great but that's a per team basis

      Cons

      This position is lonely. Don't expect to be as involved in the culture of the company. Must constantly be self motivated; working from home can be very distracting. Sales compensation structure crumbled while undergoing system changes so in many divisions all the reps are paid on the same numbers (this won't likely change until 2019).

      Avoid unless you love micro-managers

      Pros

      Nice campus, plenty of perks

      Cons

      Most departments are siloed, many are afraid to communicate with corporate. Managers can be micromanagers and many are new to management and do not have the training for it. It is definitely who you know, not what you know to get in.
