Pros

Current direct manager is experienced with company, but powerless to make changes to effect improvements for the team.

Cons

Cheap, cheap, cheap - mandatory roommates at Nat'l meetings. Unprofessional, no training for development or advancement (or potential for advancement). Corporate cop out - employee owns 100% of "trying" to get help. Sr. Mgmt. not in touch w/ field sales (never done the job). Promotions are not based on job success, accomplishments, loyalty, responsibility or length of service. Not in line w/ comparative jobs for Account Mgrs: no car allowance, no company cell phone, working from home, flex time or pay. Poor and worsening Health Benefits. Work/Life Balance out of alignment - private Christian employee owned company preaches family first, but expects work first at the expense of everything else. Expected (mandatory) night, holiday and weekend work or on call. ESOP only good if you've been there 20+ years. Salary approx. 60% of equivalent Act Mgr. jobs, bonus structure not on par. Poor support and follow-through from corporate to the field. Vague outlook on the future of the company with current acquisitions and potential sell out.

Pros

In general IT staff is professional and helpful.

Cons

At the upper levels of IT management everything is secretive until the last minute. Little or no employee input or inclusion on anything at any time for any reason. Over scheduling precludes any chance for career development and/or advancement either in-house or external.

Pros

They have electricity in all of their facilities, as well a running water.

Cons

This is a company that touts loyalty and career development, but the reality is far from this. No development path for non-senior management, unless you have a personal relationship with upper management. They will bog you down with work, ignore your requests for advancement training, and hope you just enjoy a stagnant career. Occasionally, promises are made, but none are honored. Don't waste your time/energy/talents on this company. KeEP moving.
