Pros

Good industry as it is in the business of saving lives. Recession proof, largely.

Cons

Sales managers are not training people managers. The environment is not conducive to learning or asking questions. This leads to inefficient attempts at getting necessary information to do one's job. Sales manager is bullying, intimidating, and uses fear to try to "inspire" the team to bring in sales. These are not good people management practices, and ultimately led me to despise this job.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
