Pros

Big company with lots of opportunities Corporate culture is very accommodating Pay and benefits are above par Depending on your area of work, there is a good work life balance. Most of the divisions in the company follow Flex-time. Actively involved in charity/philanthrophy within the community

Cons

I cant say these as the negatives of the company. But these are definitely the negatives of the Wickliffe, OH leadership. The top leadership seemed indecisive - in the three years that I worked there, they "changed" their "market and business strategy" three times. Every year it was introduced as the best thing for the company going forward. It seemed like the management are playing the trial-and-error game. Because of this, lot of talented ppl in the Sales force left the company to work for competitors. The inevitable layoffs could have been handled better. When I was laid off, there were openings for a similar position in other parts of the USA. Instead of applying as an internal candidate or an internal interview for a transfer, I was asked to first wait for my last day and then apply as an external candidate. I am sure others had a similar experience.
