Pros

There are some great people who work for this company. Most don't last too long.

Cons

Bad management. NO support or guidance for growth. Very poor communication. Perks are not distributed fairly. Senior management has no idea what any given employee actually contributes, and mid-level management won't share your successes. Pretty discouraging to work so hard, do all that you're asked, and get no recognition. Promotions? What are those? Culture is so blah. By the end of my tenure here, I was overworked, under-rewarded, and I dreaded going to the office. Plus, the salary was laughable.

Good place for brown-nosers

Pros

Salary, vacation days. Good people at the worker level.

Cons

If you're intelligent, competent, accountable, and creative, you will not succeed here. The company encourages mediocrity, being a yes-man (or woman), and brown-nosing. Independent, creative thinkers need not apply. It's assembly-line work, regardless of your role. Employees and customers are both seen as necessary evils. Don't speak up about inferior products or poor customer service. They have no interest in fixing issues - just silencing you.

Pros

I've met some great people in this organization.

Cons

Salary could be better considering what is expected. Training could be better for many areas of the company.
