Pros

Great benefits and pay, by far the best brand in the market.

Cons

Any and every stat is tracked in the call center environment. It begins to feel like you are always doing something wrong. This doesn't change even up into management. As a supervisor you get treated the same but now it's from someone higher up the food chain. Company has really lost their customer focus. It used to be about credo and culture, now it's all about the bottom line.

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, world class products and services.

Cons

Leadership is out of touch with employees. Inconsistent message to reps. Culture with to many cracks. Leadership does not develop employees. Performance plans are delivered based on your relationship with your manager, not your sales. HR does not keep personal information private. If you ask to many questions or disagree with upper management, you can guarantee to have your career on the chopping block.

Pros

The people are top notch, and there is alot of opportunity to learn things. Ability to work from home.

Cons

As an engineer you are handed down work and expected to accomplish it. When there is no work to be had they blame the engineer, who has no part of the sales process. The company is bloated an unresponsive/ uncaring. It takes an act of congress to get promoted within the company, or to get a raise. At 3 years in I haven't received a raise or a promotion even as I have filled the spots of two engineers that were making significantly more than I am. If any of your company equipment breaks just try to fix it and replace it on your own. It is easier to quit and get hired back than deal with any of the internal processes (promotions, raises, procurement, reimbursements, and submitting hours worked). This company is only functional because of its name.
