Pros

Unconscionable loyalty to long-time employees.

Cons

Zero ability to manage toward goals hidden by a fluffy stream of "initiatives" without any attempt at follow-through (you'd think a golf-nut would know better!). Everything is merely to protect the illusion of success with customers and within internal cliques. Have bamboozled the ISO-9000 auditors for years and consequently have built a house of cards. The management structure has evolved into a haphazard amalgam of silos, with feudalistic mangers each protecting their "turf" at the expense of the whole. Directors exhibiting completely dysfunctional behavior are coddled and rewarded despite inflicting enormous damage on the institutions and individuals committed to proper governance. A battleground of megalomaniacs shouting, backstabbing, and working secret deals to the detriment of customers and employees alike. DON'T COME TO WORK HERE UNLESS YOU ARE INDEPENDENTLY WEALTHY AND POSSESS THE INSTINCTS OF A PIT VIPER AND THE IMMUNITY OF AN IMMORTAL GOD - or you won't last with your optimism or your humanity intact..

Pros

Strong opportunity to help shape and grow the Reality Capture business within Topcon Positioning Systems. Exposure to cutting-edge technologies including SLAM, mobile mapping, digital twins, machine control, and survey solutions. Ability to work directly with dealers, strategic accounts, construction firms, and technology partners across multiple industries. High visibility role with opportunities to collaborate across sales, marketing, product management, and executive leadership. Growing market demand for digital reality and integrated construction workflows creates strong long-term potential. Opportunity to influence go-to-market strategy and help build scalable processes from the ground up. Diverse and engaging work environment with a mix of field engagement, strategic planning, relationship development, and technology demonstrations. Potential for career growth into senior sales leadership or executive roles as the business expands. Collaborative relationships with dealers and customers who are actively investing in innovation and productivity improvements.

Cons

Building consistency across a large dealer network can be challenging and requires significant coordination and follow-through. Emerging technology adoption can involve longer sales cycles and customer education efforts. Balancing direct strategic account engagement while supporting channel partners may create competing priorities. Requires strong self-motivation and organizational skills due to the broad scope of responsibilities. Rapidly evolving technology landscape means continuous learning is necessary to stay competitive. Visibility and leadership opportunities often come with increased pressure to deliver measurable results quickly. Travel requirements may be substantial depending on territory coverage, dealer engagement, and customer support needs. Cross-functional alignment between sales, marketing, and operational teams can sometimes take time in large organizations. Scaling new business initiatives may require navigating changing priorities and internal processes.
