Pros

If you have the right manager, you can learn a lot and get a chance to contribute to some successes within your area.

Cons

Benefits are the worst in my career. Nepotism counts for more than ability and track record. Senior management makes poor decisions leading to 4 major layoffs.

Pros

As far as sales jobs go, it is fairly easy and you can definitely attend to your family needs. Great job for a single parent as you can pretty much set your own schedule. Good benefits - health, dental, 401k etc..

Cons

Zero real incentive to work hard... quotas are supposedly adjusted to market conditions but are still very detached from reality. Just make sure to negotiate a solid base salary and you should be fine. No opportunity to grow with the company unless you are based or willing to relocate to Boston and even then I gather the pay scale is sub par. No marketing support whatsoever, the company relies on the popularity of the brand to sustain sales momentum which doesn't work. Middle management likes to use intimidation as a motivator which comes across as a major weakness in my book. Lack of respect amongst managers... competition has brought out the worst in them. Just not a place most of my colleagues are proud to be a part of... more or less hanging around until things get better in the job market.

Pros

Most of the best reasons have left the company (knowledgeable and experienced employees). Brand name still has some awareness but is eroding quickly. Compensation was good and benefits were good. hours were okay. At one time proud to work for LoJack but that has all changed.

Cons

Current management has not been held accountable for poor performance, they have no idea on how inept they are. LoJack leeps going back to the same employee well ( Gillette, Poloroid, Proctor gamble) they have nobody that has experience nor knowledge in the car business. They promote people most companies would let go. Bottomline they have lost most of the good and knowledgable employees and they have lost touch with their customer base. Very tough company to make a living at right now, they need a complete cleaning out of overpaid inexperienced senior management.
