Pros

I have worked for many years at Action Target and have met the greatest of people at Action Target and in the Customer World. I enjoy the industry and meeting the real people who defend our streets and our country. We use to share more ideals in the past of the purpose of being a company that helps save lives through our training with our line of products. We as a company use to work closely together and really feel the value of loyalty and friendships. We felt like we were a family in a greater cause. The greatest ideal of today's company is teaching us all how to work under extreme pressures and how to work under dictatorship style management. I also like the idea that when I come home and spend time with my family and friends, I have great stories to share that nobody believes that I can work in such a warzone.

Cons

You feel trapped in this company where you feel you can not leave. Its taught often that there is no world outside of Action Target. The executives are the joke of the day. Somehow, they feel they will make us grow to the next level while they treat us so bad. They make us feel useless and that they are the only ones that know anything at all. Then after we are treated so bad and our morale is beat down, they expect us to rally behind them on some charge of some quest we don't agree with. The middle management is scared of the top and know what the decisions should be but are scared to implement right choices from fear. Employees all in general are treating this as a prison sentence and seem to have lost any excitement for what we do.

Exposure to all parts of the business

Cons

Systems are extremely out of date and disconnected and the board is unwilling to invest in IT infrastructure creating a mass amount of technical debt.
