Pros

If one snow cone day and holiday party per year count, then that's the pros. Cafeteria is a plus as well. Free airplane coffee. Okay benefits.

Cons

Company culture is miserable. All white male executive staff has their own separate wing. No growth opportunities available, especially for women. No empowerment, crappy pay, small raises every year but no bonus, at least in the department I worked in. Most collectively negative and miserable employees I have ever been around. Worst professional 2 years of my life, I couldn't wait to leave.

Pros

Challenging job, interesting product portfolio, great schedule, work from home

Cons

Management. The pain point of the remote sales staff are simple to fix however the upper management have no interest in even entertaining fixing them. The management (in the southeast region) has shown ineptitude on multiple fronts, primarily dealing with people. The pay is listed as the best in the industry however there is truly a limited amount a remote sales associate can make. The company itself is incredibly antiquated (using carbon copy paper for contracts, no technology involved in the operations side) which is shocking for a technology company. In my region, I met a few of the upper management, and unfortunately I did not desire to be like any of them and that is a problem. Finally, they treat you like a sub contractor although you are a W-2. If you are unlucky enough to be a remote sales staff they require you to purchase all necessary equipment to do your job without reimbursement. You also expected to travel over 1k miles per week to sales meetings and take appointments, again with no reimbursement. Everything about this company screams cheap, from the way they do not reimburse anything to their pay plan, to their low tech outdated paperwork process. Overall it took less than a few weeks to realize this was not a company to commit to long term and over the year of employment they fortified that decision a million times over.

Pros

Benefits are decent, most people are good, challenging work place that builds character. Products that are installed are typically of good quality and high performance.

Cons

Upper Management only cares about profits, metrics, reports and re-perpetuating their own employment. Used to be a place where loyalty toward long time employees was important, now not so much.
