Pros

Free coffee, tea, milk, sugar. Occasional free marketing items (shirts, umbrellas, notepads, pens, etc). Subsidized vending machines. Cool technology if you can get close enough to play with it.

Cons

If your manager doesn't care, you're sunk. No chance for mobility, raises are a joke. Spouses and children are not covered under their insurance policy. You have to earn vacation days, 1 day for every month, no days off during first 3 month probation. You're treated like a child. Work hours are 8:45 - 5:30 with a 45 minute lunch. Crestron never closes regardless of weather conditions. All in all the underlying message is that management doesn't care. Even praises are back handed, thanks for all your hard work, now work harder. Training is a joke, deadlines are ridiculous, everyone is overworked and under paid/appreciated. You're not going to find flex hours, summer hours, stocked food pantries or any of the other usual perks you'd find in modern corporate America. Tuition reimbursement has more fine print than a gym membership. Crestron targets recent grads for a reason, cheap labor.

Pros

Crestron provides an opportunity to be on the cutting edge of technology. If you are someone who can work individually and if you can demonstrate that you "know your stuff" you will find both your co-workers and management recognizing this. You can receive the respect from the co-workers and management will give you more responsibility with extra projects. There is a morning meeting for the application engineers around the country where information is disseminated from corporate so you get more a feeling on cohesiveness, if you get on the call. At a trade show once, GF offered to fly a friend & I home so he could make his son's last little league game and I could make my daughter's school performance.

Cons

As with any company of this size there can be a disconnect between what's coming and what the folks in the trenches know. While the morning meetings are very informative, there are times when the sales team has information that it would be nice if the support engineers knew and vise-versa.

Pros

Leading company in the industry. Stable market growth. Cutting edge technology makes it easier to get your foot in the door.

Cons

Micro-managing is counter productive. When you do well, you are not praised. Quotas go up exponentially and you are expected to achieve at a higher level. A typical reply to achieving over quota is that management mis-read the territory.
