Pros

The name. Historically the company had great products and leadership, so the strength of this company name is strong in some divisions.

Cons

Constant downsizing & issues with supply chain, quality, and back orders means sales reps are asked to carry unsurpassed responsibility for less money year over year. 24/7 call, zero work-life balance, payroll errors, (even when you are 100% commission), and middle management that has no idea how to lead or motivate sales people. It’s sad. I sold more than I ever had in my 20 year career, exceeded yearly quota by 25% & made less money than I did 5 years ago with $1.5m difference in quota, exceeding attainment then too. That’s not okay.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
