Pros

Good products and brand recognition. Competitive pay and benefits. Many fine people pulling on the oars of a ship spinning in circles.

Cons

A maniacal obsession with the stock price and being valued 'like an electronics company instead of a wire company' is the mantra of senior management. If VP's of Sales aren't generating numbers in one year, they're out or exiled, re-igniting the whole merry-go-round yet again. The use of SDP is also mis-managed. Employees throughout the organization will do anything to avoid 'going red', and triggering a wave of countermeasures and extra monthly paperwork. Frequently they do the wrong thing for the business and customers just to avoid this death spiral.

Company in turmoil

Pros

Pay very good. Generous benefits. Expense policy is very fair. Lots of interesting roles available, not upward, but laterally.

Cons

Opportunity for advancement very small. Very high-stress work environment. High management turnover (6 VPs of Sales in 7 years). Very data intensive organization -- many times missing the forest for the trees. Annual reductions in workforce has caused a lot of ongoing fear, stress, and performance issues. Constant change in staff, methods, plans, goals, and outlooks keeps the company in turmoil. Company running so lean that many people now hold multiple jobs at once.
