Pros

In all honesty very few. The company gives you a memo loan which is a home theater system after 90 days, in which you must return or buy out upon departure.401 k is cool and medical and dental which are a bit on the expensive side.

Cons

Unethical, ignorant, biased, unprofessional and poorly trained management. More like micro management. Hardly any incentives for an individual besides working towards a bonus at the end of the month which is definetely not promised and in many cases nearly unattainable. Very hard to take personal time off especially last minute, nearly impossible without being reprimanded. Annoying management that stresses learning foolish acronyms that are mumbo jumbo. Poor pay unless you are a student, slacker, underachiever or all wrapped in one. Poor training it's like they put you in the wild and fend for yourself. Lastly an enormous amount of pressure from management especially from a dead end job with no signs of growth. Oops one more thing. Management is childish and vindictive and very political. I wasted 5 months of my life with this trash

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)
