Pros

Company makes products that save lives. CEO Rick Smith is a down to earth, approachable and passionate in what he's doing. Most people there are nice and easy to work with. Nice work environment if you work in the front office. Company is financially sound. Car pool is provided.

Cons

Salary-Salary-Salary!!! Pay is very low for production employees and most employees are temps with very little chance to become permanent. Starting pay for temp is $9.50 per hour and stay at $9.50 forever until becoming permanent. Low pay also means low quality, low morale and high turnover. TASER has a big challenge retaining skilled workers. Pay for salary people is not great either and starting salary is lower than industry standard average. It's hard to attract and retain talents if pay is not right. Mid level management runs the company but it is weak and full of politics. Working environment for production people is bad, the place is very noisy but no ear protection provided. Smoking area is next to employee entrance and so you practically smoke 10 hours a day even you don't want to.

Pros

Good pay and benefits Flexible PTO RSU's

Cons

Company morale is low. The other recent reviews stating this are extremely accurate. Company culture has eroded and the company values don't seem to matter anymore. 'Winning Right' has become lip service. Senior leadership refuses to address the problems many departments are having with headcount and workload. They don't really care about the customer experience. RTO makes no sense when most of your team remains remote in the same role, a role in which you spend much of the time on calls with customers and meeting with other team members virtually. Not enough staff to support the RMS customer base and ticket counts have ballooned.
