Pros

Engaging work and opportunity for movement / growth within the company. The product is very well made and has good reputation in the industry. Decent pay and generous bonuses given out but only for top performers. Healthcare benefits good and way less expensive on employee side compared to other companies I’ve worked for.

Cons

Bad sales hires since Covid but company seems to be making changes. CEO has limited patience for excuses and employees who don’t care.
