Pros

Great people, quality products, paid well, good place to advance quickly. Had a positive culture and fun environment in the early 5.11 days.

Cons

No work life balance, too much drama, executive management is clueless. Too many objectives, little time to implement, hard to feel proud about your work.

Pros

Compared to my prior employer, the workload is much reduced while the pay is a substantial increase. I feel that store and District leadership is a lot more willing to back you up compared to Prior employers I've had, and there is a good amount of freedom to be had. The company is also expanding so the opportunity for growth is also higher than with other Industries right now.

Cons

The company seems to be a bit schizophrenic at the moment when it comes to certain things and operations are suffering to a degree because of it.
