Pros

Respectable pay for new college grads Mostly remote albeit with frequent in-region traveling to new clients

Cons

My manager in the south-central region of the United States was horrendous. He repeatedly made inappropriate/unprofessional comments related to my health and personal life. His expressed expectations were poorly communicated, changed frequently without notice, and were completely disconnected from the resources available to me as a new CEM with a fresh account base. He also had had a profound lack of patient and genuine desire to engage substantively with my efforts in the role. I would send him multiple reports highlighting my efforts with my accounts and areas where I needed assistance, he never responded to any of these emails. He fostered a deeply uncomfortable working environment where asking questions was discouraged, understandable mistakes were seen as malicious character flaws, and where honesty was punished. And finally, I was terminated while attending to a family emergency. Main reasons given were based around struggles with my performance and a direct accusation I had lied in one of my weekly reports, an accusation I directly rebuffed to my manager weeks prior and in which he never responded to. I was not given the grace, clear/consistent instruction, and respect needed to succeed in this role. I entrusted in my manager personal details in my life which were contorted and used against me. And to top it off, I reached out to the head of Microchip's America Sales to escalate my concerns and was told I needed "tougher skin." Under no circumstances should you work/apply to be an associate client engagement manager for Microchip Technology in the South-Central United States. Worst experience of my professional career.

Pros

people i worked with in my section were decent people when they were in the mood most were grumpy employees that worked there for way to long and were miserable with the job but like i said they were decent hard working people to work with

Cons

the management - only care about themselves and there bonuses no way of moving up within company, example someone that's worked there for 20 years applies for higher position, they offer them the job but for the same pay as their making now, now how is that a promotion/advancement the poor work environment - family teams working together in same areas, example mother and child work together in section, father who is a supervisor mind you and daughter work together in same area, husbands and wifes working together in same areas and so on, just a couple i could rattle of the top of my head the joke of an hr team they have there is atrocious and definitely don't now how to do their jobs force you to use your vacation and personal time, which is 2 weeks of each, when there is no work available, which is about 50% of the time, instead of letting you use unpaid time off because they want the big wigs to see they are super busy, when in reality they really aren't busy, so they can keep they're extra bonuses in they're pockets. then they fire you because they see you sitting at your desk doing nothing because there is no work to do.

Pros

Lots of overtime if you want it. Nice Garden.

Cons

Majority of Managers are male and opportunity's and raise for woman are non-existent. I went 11 years without a raise and was told the only way I could get promoted was without a raise.
