Pros

Company car, 401K, abilities to learn sales tactics, business operations, logistics, and outside sales. Ability to work with some talented and hard working people.

Cons

Off Airport regional and General managers encouraged fraud to boost sales numbers. In fact, an individual was actually appointed into a position to teach fraudulent sales methods. This made for a very volatile working environment and made many employees uncomfortable. Promotions for managers are not based on results but rather your ability to be the "buddy" of your boss. Two area managers were promoted based on who they knew and not what they knew.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
