Pros

They're a big player in the market with bundles of cash in the bank so job security is there IF you work your pants off and do as your told.

Cons

You are not treated as a human unless your one of the top peoples personal friends or family, where you will be promoted to a top job with a huge salary even if you have less competence than a dead fish! There is a huge culture of blame and back stabbing, every one is scared of being fired so they push some one else under the bus. The "management" don't care if valuable / brilliant people leave as they prefer to employ vulnerable people such as immigrants who cannot afford to be fired. One "boss" was heard saying i dont care if he leaves, we'll just get another Indian to do his job!!!! They push every one to work extra hours for no extra money or time off, and the poor management of customers and projects mean the priority's always shift and "extra effort " is always needed. It looks like the upper management are using the company as a cash cow pulling out cash regularly and will leave it in a mess when they bale out and sell.

Pros

Evertz is a good place to start a career. If you get an entry level position in the factory, there is a good chance that you can get a promotion into sales or management. I would recommend everts only if you have no experience and are looking to get your foot in the door to a better opportunity. It is worth putting in 2 to 3 years to get the experience, and then I would recommend looking for a new job as soon as possible.

Cons

You will be lied to constantly by your bosses and the owners of this company. You will be promised raises that never arrives. If you ask about when you're promised raise will go through, you will be met with a dismissive attitude. If you are going for a sales position, you should know that Evertz provides a yearly bonus that is not based on what you sell. They tell employees that the bonus is based on several factors, but that is actually not true. They do base bonuses on total sales, but by the way they do it, they can give you whatever they feel. In my years at Evertz, the sales managers were completely unsatisfied with their bonuses every year. Also, when you get a really big sale, you can expect one of the VP's to step in and tell you that the customer was historically theirs and now they are taking over the sale and you will get no credit for it. The benefits are the absolute worst that I have experienced. The medical covers very little and the dental covers cleanings only; you will be refused coverage on anything more. They do not match money in their 401K at all, you get nothing. I know that it's an overused term, but this company really has a toxic corporate culture. There is no work/life balance at all, you are expected to work like a dod and keep your mouth shut. Upper management is consistently sarcastic, demeaning, insulting and just plain mean. The corporate office is a very depressing place, nobody is happy.
