Not a good company

Pros

They organise budget-friendly company gatherings with the intention of getting you intoxicated and gathering information about colleagues. Their seemingly friendly company culture can entice you to work for them at a fraction of what you could earn elsewhere.

Cons

The management pretends to be like your friends and family, aiming to extract maximum effort from you for minimal compensation. They are adept at identifying and exploiting employees' weaknesses for the company's benefit. Constantly emphasising the importance of a friendly company culture over better pay, they keep individuals with vulnerabilities, such as difficulty adapting to new cultures or people, stress, undervaluing themselves, or family issues, working here for extended periods, taking advantage of them. Some individuals even return to the company due to their inability to navigate career changes effectively. Many experienced employees retire with salaries ranging from 50K to 60K, significantly less than what they could have earned elsewhere (90K+). Once you depart, they monitor your ability to cope with the change. If they sense you can't be manipulated, you receive no further response from these so-called super-friendly, family-like Snap-on directors and managers. :)

Pros

Good benefits with insurance Decent culture Fast paced More than minimum wage Hybrid days if meeting metrics

Cons

Not paid enough for the amount of work you do. You talk to so many people in different fields and have to use different databases to help someone. It can be confusing. Supervisors aren’t helpful sometimes and it can be stressful. Very busy and very strict on meeting your metrics. There’s no room for growth. People have worked for 10+ years in remain the same position and pay range as people that just started.

Pros

Company Benefits are great Co workers are okay for the most part

Cons

IT Management is deplorable. Raise percentages are based less on work performance and more on how much your relationship to management / IT VP
