Pros

-generally nice and helpful teammates -better than average salary for Vegas -easy to transfer internally, both laterally, plus upward, as they promote a lot from within.

Cons

** truly horrible work-life balance - NPI/ new product launch members are expected to throw your body under the train when necessary, even with faulty planning , Design and subcontractor errors. -end of quarter pushes have 6 (or more) days/wk, 10-12 (or more) hours / day manditory -the Business overloads the factory capacity, and the work gets done over the bodies of the mfg, QC and Warehouse shipping personnel and supervisors. -every month or two you get a new "Program de Jour". -key positions are heavily understaffed, though corporation has honestly been trying to fix some MIA positions; but too little / too slowly/ too late. -way too many meetings. -corporation is very siloed, meaning parallel groups don't know what each other is up to, with very poor communication. -Design Engineering has not had their feet held to the fire enough for bad designs, especially Australia Design. -execs in Australia make key program and personnel decisions for local Ops. Other depts may be different, your mileage may vary. But Mfg, QA, Purchasing, Warehouse, Shipping. Recvng, NPI Eng, and Facilities will be extremely pushed and overworked.

Pros

Excellent company. Clear winner in the sector. Treats its people well even as it manages through business cycles and need to be leaner in some areas. Committed to maintaining industry leadership through heavy investment in best content / products.

Cons

Nothing major. Could move faster at times, but making progress there.

Pros

Free lunch on Thursdays, remote flexibility for being sick or family emergency type deals

Cons

"Good ol boys clubs" all over the place, especially in sales. Hard to even get interviews unless you know someone, regardless of brand or work ethic
