Pros

The name. Historically the company had great products and leadership, so the strength of this company name is strong in some divisions.

Cons

Constant downsizing & issues with supply chain, quality, and back orders means sales reps are asked to carry unsurpassed responsibility for less money year over year. 24/7 call, zero work-life balance, payroll errors, (even when you are 100% commission), and middle management that has no idea how to lead or motivate sales people. It’s sad. I sold more than I ever had in my 20 year career, exceeded yearly quota by 25% & made less money than I did 5 years ago with $1.5m difference in quota, exceeding attainment then too. That’s not okay.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
