Pros

Its really difficult to identify the pros when they simply dont exist.

Cons

If you think your hard work will get appreciated and you will get a promotion as a result - forget about it. Just like any other manufacturing company, engineering talent is not appreciated at Zebra. Unless you are in sales or marketing, forget about here staying more than a couple of years with a hope to grow in your field and become a better specialist.

Pros

The benefits are great, depending on the department you are in there are opportunities to advance. If you are an engineer, this is a great company

Cons

Most of the company is run off of excel spreadsheets. Dont be fooled by the word "technologies" in the company name. Executive management doesn't have a clue what goes on internally or in the marketplace. The are absent and detached. They do not execute strategy. Many of executive ideas come from articles they have read on a plane while on a business trip, the article may be a strategy implemented by a completely unrelated company, and without any custimization toward Zebra, they will try and impliment the article. The direction of the company changes often and flounders, 2009 the direction changed 3 times. The company has outsourced production and that has been an utter mess. The company could not deliver product to buying customers towards the end of 2009 and moving into 2010 as well.

Pros

Zebra was a company going places with good products and great ethics. With a good captain at the helm and a good strategy, things could have been very different.

Cons

Zebra now appears to be in panic mode, flapping around like a headless chicken. An outsourcing program that has been disastrous from day one and a senior management team that have no clue what goes on around them. You can only do well at Zebra if you are spineless and two faced, prepared to kiss a lot of ass and dump on those beneath you. Incompetency isn't compulsory, but it helps.
