Pros

Decent work enviroment where everyone seems to care. Mangement is pretty open to direction and taking ground level employee views on whats going in the market place.

Cons

Its a bit of a boys club on who you know. Certain decisions and changes get made and sometimes your left in the dark about is going on. Aquistions have been questionable and rumors do float around on what is going on. pay structure and teritories do change on a yearly basis.

A good place to work!

Pros

Management team is in tune with th market and is willing to listen to employees. Good products. Potential for great compensation provided you get in through the right channels. Handled the 2009 downturn with tact and class although management had to make some tough decisions.

Cons

Somewhat difficult to advance your career due to recent hiring freezes. Communication at the middle management level could be better. Reportedly, compensation is greatly dependent on how you get in and who you know. Constant, unsubstantiated rumors of mergers and takeovers. Some really questionable acquisitions over the last couple of years, but hey, we all make mistakes!
