Pros

The building is quite nice. (The Smart Home building in Lehi that is). Some of my former co-workers were great. They had some really good individual talent and honestly didn't know what they had in some of those leaders. Lots of potential to drive product, innovation as a product designer but that's where it all starts to go downhill.

Cons

While the company and product had real potential, it's squandered by a top-down, dictatorial management style that cripples innovation and invention. As a company pro, I mentioned their talent pool and that was absolutely true but they didn't' leverage that talent coz it wasn't always necessarily in "management" and I use that term very loosely - And if you're not in that good old boy's club, talented or not, you're no-one and your opinions are invalid. Then there are the ladder climbers that will step on anyone's throat to rise thru the ranks. They create a toxic environment and end up in roles they have absolutely no business being in. They're not qualified nor have the skillset but they're friends with the right people and that's all that matters. The turn around is so high because no-one is valued and the credit is going to all the wrong people.

Pros

Great company, lots of perks! The schedule is consistent; busy and slow seasons make the work predictable. There is always something to do, so if you like to stay busy, then this position is great for you. The team is relatively small, so everyone is close!

Cons

No growth opportunities. Seems like the 1Stop department in general gets pushed to the side; there is no recognition for the work you do.
