Business Outlook

Pros

- Overall good environment with little office politics. - Can initiate projects you want to work on. - Good structure and framework to learn and grow. - Company discounts on Sony products.

Cons

- Too enamored of past successes. The older and long-time employees are always talking about Sony's good old days. - Company culture is too risk averse. They do the same old things over and over again. - Too many ineffective middle managers. - Compensation was lower than average. (disclaimer: I have heard remuneration has improved)

Sony was fun to begin with but quickly fell off pushing for numbers that did not truly reflect the ability of the sales

Business Outlook

Pros

Exposure to new electronics was great. The friends and family discount at times could be quite good too, but not on all products.

Cons

Upper management was very detached from stores, being located outside of the state, and did not always make relevant decisions. The pay was made to look good with bonuses and commissions during the interview. After the economy turned, the bonuses got smaller due to unrealistic goals for the economy and a "restructuring" of the commission scale. by management.
