Pros

Nice people. Good friends. Commissions were great a few years ago... Easy to make six figures as an inside rep at that time.

Cons

Commission structure changes constantly and for the worse, year by year. Micro-management. Very open workplace means you will constantly get sick. Managers use their influence to try to sell you "home party" clothes and jewelry. The company only hires brand new college grads now and as a result much less talent. Senior leadership is all men, no diversity.

Thanks for your feedback. I would recommend that you mention your specific concerns to HR so we can address them appropriately...as some of what you mention is not a common issue. You have some good suggestions regarding compensation and flexibility. We do want to have solid career paths for both experienced employees as well as those that have less experience. Our interest is that we can provide a great work environment for all of our employees. Your input was helpful. Thanks!

Worst company I ever worked for

Pros

Depleted employee morale. Excessive after work drinking. Problems with your personal relationships. Plummeting self-esteem. You'll find escalating anger in yourself you never knew existed, which you combat with substance abuse (see excessive after work drinking). Deflated self-worth. And, if you're lucky, new ulcers.

Cons

Terrible, bullying, lying backstabbing management, Useless, spineless HR. Lenovo has established a culture of ruling by intimidation. You make a legitimate complaint about management bullying and HR just pays lip service to conducting an investigation and then does nothing. Expect retaliation, followed by your looking for a new job elsewhere. then they'll be on to their next victim.

The Worse Company and Worse Job I have ever had---nothing comes close

Pros

Good and pretty reliable products

Cons

So many to list. 1) Operates like a sweat shop. Management thinks they are above everyone, talks down, manages by threat and intimidation 2) Every call is filled with negativity and is a scavenger hunt to look for petty things they can blast you on even if petty and trivial 3) There is no check and balance to make sure managers are professional and treating people fairly and respectfully. They just get away with it and concerns shared are never taken seriously. 4) People are afraid to speak up because those that do have been fired. 5) Management constantly lies and gets away with it. 6) If you have an opinion that is different then your manager it is not valued and respected and a matter of fact used against you later.
