Pros

Benefits - health insurance and paid holidays.

Cons

Long hours (10 hrs a day), low pay, lots of reports that take you away from doing the required daily to do list. Large corporations don't value hard work, just check the boxes. Work hard and increase sales in your territory, it won't save you from lay-offs.

Pros

They let you make your own schedule and give you a company car. You get to travel and they pay for travel expenses

Cons

Minimum 45 hours no pay for the first hour of travel so the work week is more like 55 hours, lower pay than the rest of the industry. Lots of micro managing, lack of corporate direction. They charge you for your company car and say it’s part of your compensation plan and then charge you $150 a month.

Pros

Nice looking research facility. Plenty of analytical toys to provide capability.

Cons

hierarchal, lack of talented management, poor career advancement opportunities, no structure in place for innovation, not invented here syndrome, little to no organic growth, not the place for a PhD looking to become a scientist. Soft skills rather than science skills, quantity over quality, everyone is replaceable. Perception based approach to many facets within the organization. Reactive instead of proactive workplace. Big and slow moving global entity which is struggles to work together.
