Pros

Good pay for my age, came in young making a decent salary, couldn't argue that with my new born.

Cons

- Standard 2% "Raise" annually, no matter what your senior manager promises to bump your pay to and "take care of you" for taking over a new department. -On Call responsibilities, every other week was a joke, saw my family for a couple hours a week at best as i was REQUIRED to work a MINIMUM of 65 hours each week outside of my on call responsibilities, my manager actually congratulated me on my first 150 hour paycheck, told me it showed how much of a good employee i was for picking up the slack. overtime was the only way to make any real money at this company with the dinky salary that was offered. -Got pulled into a meeting with my senior management staff and was told that because of my lack of focus and drive (wife had gotten job and i had cut my hours down to only 45 a week and regular on call duties) if i want a job i either have to decide that my employment is more important of that my family will take precedence, i chose the latter and immediately got moved from the department i had built from the ground up only to be expected to run my new position and still carry the other five employees in my old department. definitely an eye opener as to what really is important in a job.

Pros

Only pro was the hiring process which consisted of two interviews and then an offer. That should have been the first red flag.

Cons

Private Equity controlled organization. No onboarding process or training provided. You are sent to their HQ for two days of learning how to turn your computer on and how to open a couple of computer applications. They are looking for a zero to hero hire. Be prepared. Tumultuous with lots of turnover. Was told this was a career-long role and in a couple of short months, the CEO was fired, the VP of sales took off. New executive leadership team created an environment of fear and layoffs. Lots of huge egos and very little tolerance for questioning poor business decisions and strategies. No attention given to the voice of the customer and what would strategically help move the needle. It really gives off the odor of a company trying to be sold.
