Pros

Casual work environment, plenty of PTO, could have a good future ahead, co-workers seem to really care and want to help, decent health insurance, no nightmare traffic to get into the office or drive home.

Cons

Company makes lots of major changes, the last being about a year ago, they seem to only be hiring in Carlinville now, unless you want to live in a small town with nothing to offer or drive a very long commute this is a major deal breaker, company used to have an open and honest policy, they have now become more closed off and no longer seem to back up what the announce, my one interaction with the CEO left me surprised by his choice of words (30 years ago that might have been acceptable but not in 2018)

Pros

Quality Product Great story for the company

Cons

Benefits are VERY expensive. Product is 50% more expensive than the closest two competitors and the primary competitor is arguably the same product for half the cost. Management thinks they can overcome that problem by "selling better" Extremely disorganized between departments. Overall sales structure creates in-fighting. More often than not, sales person is putting out fires that other departments started because they don't know any roles outside of their own. Sales process is taken away from sales person prior to deal officially closing but then if deal goes backwards, salesperson gets their commission taken back even though they weren't handling the rollout. Extremely complicated rollout process.
