Pros

There are a few people at the line level who still care a little, but not many. They do make a stab at trying to treat the customer right.

Cons

This is now one of the worst run companies around. In their short sighted efforts to cut costs, they cut the heart out of the engine that fuels profits. It is a sales company and no one knows what new products are coming out, how they can help customers, or how to sell them. No marketing training whatsoever is offered. As far as sales training, they used to have certified professional trainers delivering a solid mix of selling skills but now instead they have people with no knowledge of real, effective training running "make work" classes so they can check off the "trained" box. On boarding training is now a joke, nobody going through it comes out with the ability to sell squat, unless they had been selling for years before joining the company and the starting pay is so low, they can't attract good salespeople.

Pros

Creative Services team in North America is led by an absolutely stellar Brand Director, with a fantastic team that continues to smash it. The wider business and fellow employees have always been genuinely kind, and the office environment is very friendly as well.

Cons

I truly can't think of any! The team and atmosphere is great!

Pros

• Decent pay • Great benifits • Car allowance/reimbursement for a personal vehicle and depreciation • The ability to travel and build relationships with customers • Learning mechanical and electrical skills • Independence and teamwork

Cons

• They just started enforcing the new commute policy which requires technicians to now give the company an hour of their time to and from work, if the customer is that distance away from their home at the beginning or end of day. Ultimately stealing up to 2 hours from the technician every single day and effectively punishing you for living so far away from a customer site. • Always coming with new ways to screw over technicians. They also just implemented new metrics that contribute to or take away from your bonus. • Sales reps usually always get the wrong equipment delivered to a customer and you have to be the one to deal with a screwed up mess • Lack of communication between sales/deliveries/management
