Pros

Highly dependent on the location, but generally a good culture throughout. Plenty of opportunity to move within the company, many avenues for growth. 401K plan is pretty good so far. In house employee education is robust and helpful.

Cons

Benefits are lacking. PTO - while "standard" - is poor, and unable to negotiate for more. Medical insurance is poor. Everything is "competitive/industry standard" but industry standard is bottom rate. No tuition reimbursement. Pay of non-sales oriented support positions are still tied to sales outcomes.

Pros

Lots of responsibility. Decentralized company, which can work in your favor.

Cons

Pay is low based on competitors. Politics, lots of it. Cost-centers everywhere. Everyone has to make money off the branches: the hub, NA, regions, support, etc. Being a GM is probably one of the hardest jobs. Your job on the lean team is to support NA and the branch. It is hard to fully support both at the same time. It is a balancing act that frequently is blamed on you. Frequently, your coworkers just want to put their name on your work and create problems because of their egos.
