      Pros

      Company makes products that save lives. CEO Rick Smith is a down to earth, approachable and passionate in what he's doing. Most people there are nice and easy to work with. Nice work environment if you work in the front office. Company is financially sound. Car pool is provided.

      Cons

      Salary-Salary-Salary!!! Pay is very low for production employees and most employees are temps with very little chance to become permanent. Starting pay for temp is $9.50 per hour and stay at $9.50 forever until becoming permanent. Low pay also means low quality, low morale and high turnover. TASER has a big challenge retaining skilled workers. Pay for salary people is not great either and starting salary is lower than industry standard average. It's hard to attract and retain talents if pay is not right. Mid level management runs the company but it is weak and full of politics. Working environment for production people is bad, the place is very noisy but no ear protection provided. Smoking area is next to employee entrance and so you practically smoke 10 hours a day even you don't want to.

      Overworked and Disregarded

      Pros

      They recruit contract to hires and in the interview will state after 6 months that you can get hired on as a full time employee. Instead they continue to extend your contract rather than hire you on, so if you need any health benefits this may not work for you.

      Cons

      Work is extremely stressful with extreme micro managing. Hybrid work as well, and the office is extremely noisy and no privacy. Environment feels very culty- they expect you to take back to back calls while working on tickets at the same time. QA is unrealistic which is their reasoning for not hiring you on full time.

      Pros

      Great People and amazing products axon is building

      Cons

      ZERO work life balance, long days 10-11hr on average, very little appreciation for teams outside of Sales & Engineering, Very much a start up culture but its a larger organization, no structure or strong process, Even if you have a good manager - they often aren't able to help instill change
