Pros

Company is open for discussions when personal needs require a change in working hours or other adjustments. Colleagues are great. It feels like a family company/environment. Benefits are ok like private health insurance, pension, birthday holiday.

Cons

A lot of the managers are not qualified to actually lead people, are not capable of solving a problem or a conflict and are not managers we all look up to. There are some but these are really rare. Most of them need training how to manage people properly or should not be managers in the first place. Typical corporate organization where the higher management look after themselves first and also look out for each other when needed. The company and the employees come long after that if at all. Inappropriate comments towards women by one particular person who is well connected within the company have always been widely accepted instead of dealt with accordingly.

Pros

* You are immersed around the game of golf. * Autonomy is there as long as you preserve it. * Pay was great 5 years ago. *The people that have remained a stronghold and the ones that have been lost over the years outside of upper management.

Cons

* Favortism is rampant from top-down. *Culture is driven by your manager. You could feel like you’re working for 7 different companies depending on whom your direct report is. If you challenge the status quo for more efficiency, you’re deemed negative. Very toxic positivity. *Has become an activity based company vs. results based company. *When you do drive home results, there is no thanks given, no noticing, just more pressure to repeat what you did, but more. *They abuse the reps sample accounts. Constantly shipping product to your house with no notice and it’s egregious. Fortresses of boxes and you’re liable if anything is missing. *Very cheap spend on company resources. *Horrendous Communication Strategies. *You are pressured into playing a Shell game to justify “distribution of product” as it helps your ranking. But if you get caught doing what you’re instructed to do, there is no grace for your punishment. *Gross misspend of marketing budget. *Leadership uses fear and spreadsheets to drive home initiatives. Most of them are accountants at best. Not leaders of people.
