Pros

• Nice people, for the most part • Health insurance isn't bad, IF you use it

Cons

• Extreme micro-managing. Extreme. • Pay does not match employee's value/worth/abilities - wealthy company, but cheap - too much is expected of some for the amount of (or lack of) compensation). Check out various employment websites. This company pays $13/hr, where other companies start at $20/hour for the SAME JOB title/description! • No communication ( ex. one instruction from one supervisor/manager, another instruction from another supervisor/manager = YOU'RE somehow the moron.) • Never, ever provide any positive feedback, no matter HOW far you stick your neck out to help the "team". • Only negative reinforcement. Any MINOR detail (nit-pick) will be thrown out there in front of EVERYONE & you made to look like a fool. • You cannot win. No matter how well your performance, how well you work - they WILL find something to turn into a negative and use against you. • If you have no available PTO and have an emergency -- you're not "allowed" to make the adult decision for yourself, of taking the day off without pay. It's simply "prohibited". • They have "temps" for years. Also - give the actual "temps" a sense of false hope that they MIGHT be needed long-term. • The employees that do NOTHING and LIE and create fake cases to make themselves "appear" productive get better treatment and respect than the employees that actually WORK - making it appear as though THIS is the company mantra: "the LESS you do, the less is EXPECTED of you; the MORE you do, the MORE is expected of you" - so what message does that send to employees? • No opportunities to advance in the company or at least within your own department.

Pros

This is a great place to work. This company offers many great benefits. The culture at Navionics has completely changed since the Garmin acquisition. The negativity and sense of unapproachable hierarchy left during that time. We are now encouraged to develop and grow as individuals and professionals. Upper management is very supportive and treats each of us respectfully which is a value they encourage everyone in the organization to live by.

Cons

Unless you can find something negative about working with great people and enjoying where you work, I don't have a con to add here.

Pros

Generally interesting small company products. If you can agree with whatever you are told to do no matter how little sense it makes or how wrong it is technically or marketwise, you can be happy here. You won't have to exercise your brain but your work hours will be long. If you are very calm and patient and don't really care about your work...this is a good place.

Cons

You work for Italian management. Read up on this before working here. You will not be able to comprehend what they think or how they work. Your time here will not be a plus on your resume or add positively to your experience level. Reputation of company in this industry is low - check it out by asking others in the industry if they would hire you after working here.
