Pros

- If you like fixing things where everything is on fire 24/7 - If you absolutely (need) a paycheck and this is the only place willing to give you that opportunity. (Keep on the lookout for other positions immediately).

Cons

Pretty much everything you can think of. - Poor Leadership (Product Management) - Nepotism - Pretentiousness - Beurocracy/Politics (Playing Game of Thrones) - Hire & don't take the advice of subject matter experts. - Downsized 60% of the workforce to (look more profitable to sell the company). - You'll end up working 60-80/hrs a week and still be told that you're underperforming.

Pros

Remote & Unlimited PTO= 10/10 Work Life Balance. Open lines of communication throughout the entire organization. Compensation is a perfect mix of Salary, Commission, and matching 401K! Volunteering is encouraged. Low turnover. I’ve worked with everyone in my department for at least 6 years. The C Level Executives are as cool and down to earth as anyone in the organization…this is very important to me. Bolt On Technology is an industry leader, which makes everything easy.

Cons

None-I've been here 7 years
