Pros

Mmmm, the only thing would be the décor. This company is only about image and the headquarters location does not disappoint. Beautiful conference rooms and lobby. Excellent marketing dept, which is the only reason they are successful.

Cons

No substance. Image is more important than employees. Eccentric owner, run like a mom and pop shop. IT dept is extremely poorly managed, CIO that's afraid to make decisions or changes. Very political. The only promotions are if you have connections or know the right people. They intentionally only hire and pay below market value. Benefits are also below market norms, 3 sick days per year, ridiculous! They do not promote learning because they don't want you to be attractive to other employers. Beware - they are "buddies" with other businesses in the area and they will know if you apply for a job somewhere else (I saw it happen multiple times). High turnover. No flexibility. Salaried employees punch a time clock. Employees have to walk a very long distance up a hill to get to the parking lot in all kinds of weather, simply because a parking lot near the building would not look attractive. Speaking of image, everyone is expected to wear a corp. suit every day of the year. Absolutely everything is about looking good, not about having or keeping happy employees. It was the most bizarre company I've ever worked for. First interview was just to see how well I'd fit into the "company culture". I should have seen the Red Flag waiving. The place is very much like a cult.

Pros

Work with other people in different countries, the Alltech simposioum is great to hear and meat good word business speakers ( you can only go there if you are in sales departament or if you sell many registers to your costumers) if your work in other dept different than sales.

Cons

The company doesn't have HR, the oldest people there have the power of choice who is good and who dont... Who leave and who stay ... Thats really bad for any professional aspirations or the good company way
