      Pros

      overall the people you work with on a day to day basis make your job worthwhile.

      Cons

      poor leadership, continually bring in people from outside the company, everytime they buy a company they bring in more people with inflated job titles and salaries. Management is horrible has no idea the day to day truggles the sales reps deal with. Need to quit purchasing companies and focus on the issues and problems on hand.

      The never-ending fire-drill

      Pros

      There are great people working for the company; people who have been with the company for a long-time care about it, and want to make things better. Benefits offered are above average.

      Cons

      There is no direction within the company. The executive leadership team keeps on pressing that they are executing their strategy, yet everything that is being done is a knee-jerk reaction to whatever is that day's hot topic. Multiple major projects are not being completed, and are being shelved after wasting vast amounts of ressources. This is not helping with the distrust of the management team to successfully turn this sinking ship around. Employees are being blocked from internal promotions by senior management once they are offered new opportunities. Board-level politics are negatively affecting the business, with the newly-reformed BCS unit being put on a pedestal, but not being held accountable to any of its decisions. The new CEO came in with a promise of being transparent, yet the level of communication is at its lowest.

      Pros

      Decent FTO program, good for entry level grads and people who like a hybrid work role. Work is steady and people have a lot of tenure here. Some people get lucky and don't do anything all day!

      Cons

      Turnover rate is definitely a problem. Reasons could be that there is a lot of first time managers with hardly any experience on how to actually lead or develop their subordinates. Unprofessional at times with how anything is handled from top to bottom with no clear direction from immature leaders and employees are kept in the dark. Nepotism and favoritism run rampart in this company and management thinks others do not notice the unjust behavior. A lot of finger pointing and blame game create a culture of mistrust and being honest is construed as being problematic.
