Pros

I had a great team, and a couple of my fellow managers were decent people. Not much outside of that.

Cons

Expectations were not always clear and your accomplishments were not enough. This company is really full of themselves - Just the usual corporate BS! Superiors are micromanaging and do not welcome new ideas (or outsiders). If you question anything, they'll treat you like you're a problem! Yet, they want you to waste time fixing things that aren't broken. If your peers don't like your answer or solution, they'll immediately go to your boss's boss to complain and let it trickle down. Teamwork? They never heard of it! Discuss an issue openly - why bother? It's more efficient to backstab instead! Training is non-existent and relies on people's notes and outdated SOPs. This is a national company, and they don't even have a formal training department?! Benefits were awful and expensive. I've worked for smaller companies that offered better health plans, and multiple carriers. There are reasons why they aren't #1 in their industry.

Pros

Easy job. they can't fire you as long as you show up.

Cons

used to be a great company, now its all politics. The same people will be promoted 5 times before you're even looked at. It takes you 2-3 days for any type of leadership to respond to an urgent request. You have to ask the outside sales reps multiple times for quotes.
