Pros

My fellow colleagues and the moral support we each gave one another in order to survive this company.

Cons

Upper management. Upper management would pretend that they wanted to hear your experiences "in-the-field" and subsequent knowledge, but it HAD TO BE POSITIVE. If you were honest...you were labeled "negative." This was a company that claimed it wanted growth and market share and then would turn around and give it away to smaller warehouse channels. In a very short span of time with the company I went through 4 Regional Managers which only led to confusion and instability among our clients. Needlessly heavy amount of excess and inexperienced management. You could win awards for meeting sales quotas one year, and the next year a new manager (if they didn't like you) would institute a "designed" and clearly unfair program to get rid of you? Dying company...directionally confused...most assuredly being "listed-for-sale" again soon. Managers are trading experience for "cost-reducing" measures which should also tell you something!? Management constantly pushed you to "load up" your customers in order to make the company sales quotas.

Pros

Good company to work for. Very supportive environment, and IT management was constantly trying to advance and support their employee's careers and passions.

Cons

Only con was that the internship program was cut due to budget related issues before a hiring opportunity was able to be presented

Pros

Peer relationships are usually solid

Cons

Velocity and volume of work. 50 hours a week is normal. Nights and weekends to get the job done is common. Very stressful. Competiting priorities always. Job titles that don't align with roles. High turnover. Lack of stability within the organization. The company is moving too fast. Job descriptions change frequently. Teammate care is poor.
