Pros

The people there are on the whole quite nice, and the salaries are reasonable

Cons

Firstly, there are no vacation, it has to be acrued with one day a month. I for one have never seen this before. A recent cost saving and a way to gain more from the beleagured employee. Work rate is very high, you want burn out and no value, work here. A lot of politics, and everything has deteriorated. The facilities are pretty dire, every thing is old from the coffee machine to vending machine. No investment in facilities at all. In order to fake value, HR do free HR things such as tell you where the food truck is ! Just a really bad work place. Who don't care about their staff, except some managemnet who are beyond unpleasant.

CalAmp offers it's employees with PTO or Personal Time Off. A new hire will receive 13 days in the first year. Like most companies, PTO time does accrue. For CalAmp new hires, it accrues at 2 hours per week (since we are paid weekly). In your 2nd year of employment - you will accrue 14 days of PTO and in the 3rd year 15 days and this scale continues to grow. CalAmp also offers (3) medical plans, (2) dental plans, a vision plan, life insurance, AD&D, short term and long term disability and a 401K plan with matching at 4% of the first 5%, with no vesting.

Pros

The only pro here being these guys are in the right industry at the right time but other than that everything else is miserable.

Cons

From my keen observation what management considers "top performers" in this company are really the biggest suck ups. As with any other company the real cream tends to stay silent and focus on work rather than use all their energy in sucking up and flaunting their half baked knowledge. And management likes that. They don't have the level of expertise needed to look at what everyone is doing exactly but they just go by who talks the most and the loudest.

Pros

Growing and in a great industry segment. Customer base is beginning to transform to reputable companies.

Cons

Foul language, threats, ridicule and humiliation. Political environment like no other. Culture was nonexistent a few years ago, but is starting to emerge. Certain locations and functions get preferred treatment over others by corporate management. Not all are equal......
