Pros

Overall the company is good at compensating the employee. Seems like there is always someone getting food for some type of reason. GWP as they call it. Being salary, there is no issue submitting for extra pay when you come in extra although it's capped at 300 per occurrence. This depends on job grade. Lower job grades salary is 150 per occurrence. The people in my immediate group are all pretty good it seems. Although this might be slanted because I am in management and don't see what the average worker sees.

Cons

Strict technology policy. You can't bring a personal laptop and your phone if you get their "Proprietary" software inhibits most functions on your phone. Your phone is your only real gateway to anything outside of the company. Everything is tracked heavily from where you badge in and out of, to the websites you look at if you are bored. Lastly, the biggest con in my opinion, is the company is massively "Woke". Guys can't say anything in any joking manner without looking over their shoulder like the policy police are out to get them fired. This is not an exaggeration. As a result, I never talk to anyone outside of people I absolutely have to for business reasons.

Pros

Excellent benefits (SEA Only) & decent pay

Cons

Horrible work life balance. Never a set schedule and punished for taking PTO by having to make up days missed once you return. Field sales managers feel like retail employees based on leadership directives, which constantly change by the week. None of which helps with our never ending schedule changes mid cadence which ruins our executive presence in-store. no one really gets reimbursed for mileage so in turn, our car's need heavy maintenance for only about $5-$10 back in return a week for gas. I could go on but all in all, I'm still with the company (for now) so until a better opportunity that's financially rewarding with good enough benefits presents itself, I will reluctantly remain an FSM.
