Cons

Needs a shake up at the top, Current management has been great at getting them to their current position, but to get to the next level there needs to be some changes in the way they go to market.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Nice office aesthetics.

Cons

Working at Brother has absolutely nothing to do with job performance and everything to do with politics. If you are not part of the Inner Circle you will know it by Day 3 and nothing you do will change that. If you are part of the Inner Circle, you can do a mediocre job, act unprofessionally (even nasty) toward other coworkers who are trying to learn the job, chat excessively with other others at their desks and make hour-long personal phone calls from your cube/office without management batting an eye. There is very obvious competition among management so managers have little time or interest in giving staff training and direction. Although I requested such on several occasions, I received virtually none from my manager. All non-management employees need to punch a daily time clock (yes, punch a clock!) and actually punch in and out for lunch! Yes, you have read that correctly! Really??? Any good manager will know when their staff is working. The ironic thing is, based on my comments above, the punching a time clock thing only measures the time you are sitting at your desk, not actually working, which for many is a very small portion of the business day. If you have the integrity to work hard, be professional and learn on the job, this is NOT the company for you.

Pros

A lot of opportunities to learn and management is very encouraging. Management usually leaves you alone as long as you get the job done. Competitive benefits and bonuse.

Cons

The staff runs very lean so they expect you to know a lot of different fields and be flexible even when it comes to tasks that are not part of job function. A lot of changes right now so a lot of uncertainty.
