Pros

The business is growing very rapidly. Customer facing employees should have a stable future as long as they remain customer focused. The benefits are good and pay is fair. The product quality is good.

Cons

Management has lost their customer focus by replacing all entry level field service managers, who had worked their way up the ranks, with higher degreed managers. These business managers do not have the reputation with the customers or current field technicians. The new managers are inexperienced and appear will be more focused on managing paperwork than people and customers.

Pros

Per diem is nice, and the company car is ok

Cons

There is no ability to effect change; processes are so manual to keep people employed that should be let go, and the company is unwilling to listen to ideas of change. Also, there is no actual product quality, their so called Quality department does not deal with product quality at all, thus systems leaving the factory untested as a whole system or software releases being fully vetted for functionality. Their "Quality department" is only a CYA department to protect them from FDA audits, which quite frankly, could be called a Complaint Conversion Department. What is the point, other than titles, to call themselves Quality when nothing actually is fixed on the products and they are uninterested in end customer user experience or improving the actual product quality and sustainability.
