Pros

A few of the developers were very nice. Health benefits were ok.

Cons

lack of equipment (mac mini and power cord for remote work, that's it) Yearbook Side Development team is where I worked - Does not adhere to the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) - Has no discernible software development methodology. Not waterfall. Definitely not agile. More like Wild Wild Midwest - Tickets look like they were written by a fifth grader - Development finished product expected is a moving target - Holds you to standards without providing WHAT those standards are. (No coding standards) - The 1950's management mentality (see advice for Management) - Also, expect to be nano-managed - Senior Development Staff is continually rude and occasionally offensive. - Exceptionally poor communication and collaboration and knowledge sharing. - Unwilling to listen to ANY new ideas. You will NOT have a voice. - Uninterested in work life balance. - Really, isn't this enough! Just keep moving...

Pros

As a yearbook sales rep, you do not go to an office every single day like a typical 9-5 which can seem a bit intimidating to some. However, the company provides an amazing training program that builds up your confidence and gets you ready for what is expected of you in the field. Training is a lot of work and takes a lot of effort, but was well worth it in the end. In my experience, I learned so much about the company and its values as well as trained one on one with various training managers. Walsworth is truly an amazing company who believes in their employers.

Cons

I would not suggest this position to someone who is not self-motivated and/or lacks resiliency. You have to work hard to be successful, which is not necessarily a negative thing but it may be to some. Interview process seems long, but is well worth it.
