Pros

Strong Brand, training, and product line.

Cons

The culture is one of a dictatorship. Leadership by fear, covered by acts of trivial philanthropy. Think of "the emperors new clothes". Everyone is scared of the Chief People Officer ( I didn't make that up, that is the name she gave herself ). This once great company is a sinking ship with the HR department at the helm. If you are considering a position with this "leader" in the industry, run away. I suppose if I read this I would be thinking, "it can't be that bad". Take my advice. Pass on this opportunity. Consider this...the highest level of sales leadership in this organization has absolutely no say in hiring and firing the sales team. Leaving HR to act as judge, jury, and executioner. Scary proposition. You have been warned.

Pros

I met a few great people there and got a pay check for a while.

Cons

Probably one of the worst jobs I've had. Cooperate doesn't care about you, HR only hires people related to them for the more sought after roles. The plant manager throws tantrums and refuses to handle issues. Most of Management is either too scared or too lazy to help with anything.
