Pros

Good discounts. Good benefits. Decent vacation benefits. Not a lot of great things to say other than this.

Cons

Very clicky atmosphere, your success is only partly based on performance. The pay is quite poor. At the beginning the pay is decent, however, the lack of salary growth means you are making much less in the long-term. Upper management is not at all honest with employees and tries to maintain a cheerleader mentality no matter what. Education does not matter. Many managers had no degree and no clue; they made up for lack of knowledge by being very controlling and unethical.

Pros

Major transformation in progress. New Senior Leadership team making all the right moves. Transparent executive communications to employees. Shedding the old obsolete ways while keeping the Bose Essence

Cons

Lots of change all at once (but it is communicated - it is not a surprise)
