work-life balance, competing against yourself, not fun, too many egos

Its just a very disappointing experience working for such a large company. After a couple years, not really a way to make much more. Chances for promotion are extremely slim. The company does not invest in things it really needs such as manpower, inventory, resources, etc. Instead, they constantly squeeze the orange to see if there is another drop left. Commission plans are changed every year, making it impossible for those with experience to make at least a little bit more. You just get the feeling that they answer more to shareholders than employees. Tuition reimbursement exists but its a joke, you need to get a B (okay) but after your done with your classes you need to stay a couple years with the company or repay 50% of whatever they've reimbursed. Leadership in this company is the biggest problem. In the US, they are just puppets, cannot provide sub-evels with what they need so that they can work more efficiently with less frustrations. They absolutely love to pay big $$ for key people at other competitors as if this will solve problems, then they ignore everyone else's pleas for help, including management at branch levels. Vacation is below average, and you have to purchase if you want extra. Benefits below average. Just a below average experience.
