Pros

Friendly people, and sometimes a fun environment.

Cons

There is not much chance for growth. The pay. Management has a tough time helping employees with a clear career path. When current employees want to transfer within the company they typically make much less than a candidate from the outside.

Pros

Opportunity to learn disciplined business principles. The basis of this company is to run a fiscally responsible enterprise first and foremost. Many decisions here are made based on impact to the bottom line. Much of it seems to be questionable at the time but ultimately they are a profitable company despite the state of the industry or the economy. The executive team and ownership is very smart and intelligent. They understand the industry and are forward thinkers while keeping remaining budget conscience. You can learn a great deal and there is a great deal of opportunity to grow within the ranks if you can handle yourself and the tough working environment.

Cons

Lack of respect for employees at all levels.

Pros

They are very conservative ant are in "the black" even in this tough economy. They are total self owned and have the capacity to dominate the market with the right marketing and products. They also manufacture all their own equipment and own all of the satellites in orbit (compared to Direct TV who leases theirs). The BAE position is completely autonomous and allows a great deal of freedom when approaching selling in your market.

Cons

Job ecurity for the BAE position is very low. They just laid off about 30% of the BAE's nationwide. The communication between senior management and the plan they have for the commercial accounts devision is in a word........horrible.
