Easy job, but politics hinder promotions and support

Pros

Easy job. they can't fire you as long as you show up.

Cons

used to be a great company, now its all politics. The same people will be promoted 5 times before you're even looked at. It takes you 2-3 days for any type of leadership to respond to an urgent request. You have to ask the outside sales reps multiple times for quotes.
