Pros

Pay was ok. Summer Friday afternoons off. Technicians and Specialists are good hardworking people.

Cons

This place is like the wild west. They shoot from the hip. Men run the show. They scream, curse, drink, and do whatever they please with no recourse. HR is non-existent. With the exception of Friday afternoons in the summer, expect to live at work. Expect that unless you are part of the holy trinity you will be treated like a street dog. Women have it worse. Women are forced out (as can be seen by the great exodus of 2015/2016 when 7 female directors/VPs left, but only 1 male director). They will not take this serious - ever. The men know they have it made.

Pros

Great co-workers. Cupcakes for special occasions.

Cons

Poor management, cover up of inexperienced management, pretending the culture is great, no recognition for extraordinary work, promotion of people who have no experience in their position let alone a next level position. Pitiful annual raise percentages that are presented by management beforehand that it doesn't matter how hard or well you work you will only be graded as meets expectations and receive a meets expectations level increase. Lack of international business knowledge and experience is a huge issue.

This company runs people into the ground, then lays them off

Pros

There are no pros, this is by far the worst corporation I have ever worked for.

Cons

This company cares only about the bottom line. anything else they claim is a far second. they put people in positions of leadership and set them up to fail by not communicating their expectations and by not giving them the authority to do their job. they work people into the ground with high work load, flip flopping on company directives, not back filling, not committing to employees or valuing them.
