Pros

Stable company with great job security.

Cons

Corporate culture is very old; minimal technology and no work from home options. Age is more important than skills and competency. Since the industry is so stable there is no drive to change and try new things.

Pros

This position was pretty much tossed into my hands by a temp agency and I was basically told not to let this interview go. After 2 in-person interviews, I was hired. The starting pay is great for entry level, ZOLL pays for your life insurance based off of your salary (but you are also able to purchase additional values), they offer tuition reimbursement for schooling, deals and coupons for certain popular attractions in the area, I was personally given a laptop in addition to my desk top for the ability to work from home, worker's break areas are always nice, clean and fully stocked up, there is a gym that I believe is $10/annually and they also offer quarterly aerobics classes such as Yoga and Pilates, they also have a full cafeteria that serves full on breakfast, snacks, daily menu changes with several options, and tons of work outings.

Cons

The building and company itself is SO big (which is understandable considering to be the "Corporate" location but with that being said- there will never be a day that you don't see an employee that you've never seen before, exercise is great for you but it does get frustrating to have a 10 minute walk across the building to get to the cafe on your 30 minute break, the work load for my position was pretty boring and nothing was in place until I became the administrator for 2 new systems that went in place, I ended up training my replacement after setting up both programs new to ZOLL (one for IP invoicing and the other to keep track of any/all patents and/or filings) but obviously without knowing she actually would be replacing me!

Pros

Awesome company. Really take care of their employees and customers like I’ve never seen before from a large organization. Employees are nice, willing to contribute, and support. There’s lots of opportunities to advance or make lateral moves to different departments with 18 months or 3 years experience in non-sales/sales positions, respectively. Top of the market products, R&D is excellent, innovative products, always looking to improve. 3 weeks vacation starting year one!! Vehicle and technology allowance are within industry standards, but they’re looking into changing this. Very little to no micromanagement!!! This is a plus given that we often work weekends for trade shows.

Cons

They tend to move territories around for sales positions more than most would like; this can cause confusion for some customers. It is also bad when one rep closes a big account and another (brand new) rep gets paid the commission on it. This has happened multiple times and the management doesn’t accommodate at all. Pay isn’t top of the line for the amount of work performed. Sales positions pay differently andbase pays aren’t equal or don’t really line up with cost of living or experience. Base pay is too low and random. Commission structure is ok if you’re closing the deals each month as you get paid commission 6-8 weeks later when items ship, not when they book. Travel expenses are on your own credit card and reimbursed weekly if your manager approves in a timely fashion (by the due date). This doesn’t always happen so many people sit on expenses for weeks on end. Figure you’ll make about $20-30k less than what they tell you, after commissions are paid.
