Pros

Excellent perks and benefits. For example, car, 3 weeks vacation, 401k, xmas week shut-down. Sales reps are top notch. Overall good training.

Cons

Constant downsizing. Manages through threats and intimidation. Company is struggling in the US, so top management constantly makes changes and never gives changes enough time to work.
