Pros

Very aggressive and fast paced company that has aggressive goals and targets. This has lead to myself and other colleagues getting opportunities that would be hard to come by in other organizations. These opportunities are in the form of new projects, new advancements in careers, more responsibilities and financial responsibilities.

Cons

With the very aggressive goals and timelines, it sometimes feels that we are biting off more than we can chew. At times, we must duplicate work because of haste or don't have the chance to be as diligent as we would like.

"Leadership Development Program" Not the case

Pros

Company has an OK training program for new hires. Decent place to get experience in sales/marketing, company has products that line up well against competitors

Cons

Company's brand message/values are not aligned with what actually takes place at the corporate office or in the field. Way too many mid level managers that don't really "manage" anything except expense reports. New heads in the field aren't placed strategically, very large amount of waste. Turnover is extremely high, those that aren't in the "boys club" quickly move to other companies. Best employees end up leaving

Pros

Enjoy my coworkers Easy work Flexible hours

Cons

Extremely small raises and bonuses. People make up for it by taking longer lunches and breaks Often have to carry the less experienced workers as they like to hire young inexperienced new graduates. No career advancement unless you are in the club" very cliquish. Communication between departments is terrible often leading to repeated work and mistakes. High turn over of new hires you get confused who is even working there it changes so often and management never communicates it to you so first time you know is the first the day they show up.
