      Pros

      The company is very good to work for. Great benefits including a pension plan on top of 401k and employee stock. Lots of activities if you like to get involved in various activities. Very health oriented company. Decent pay.

      Cons

      Too many projects going at once and all due within too short of a time and sometimes back to back.

      Benefits kept me for 6yrs, but it was miserable.

      Pros

      You cannot beat Garmin's benefits. Their health insurance is absolutely amazing, you start earning PTO when you start work, and they offer some really great deals on products.

      Cons

      I heard from friends this is completely different outside of Operations/Warehouse, but, they treat you so terribly. My department literally had this loud buzzer telling us when we could leave for break and lunch, and when we should be back. Management treats you like you're worthless and they look down on you. The atmosphere was miserable - giving you the mentality to just keep your head down, strive to meet ridiculous numbers, and kiss any thought of a decent raise goodbye. Also, moving up is a rarity in this company, no matter where you are.
