Pros

Reasonable pay. Benefits were okay, but nothing exceptional. No training ever for anything. Everything, such as benefits was on-line. Never had a review. Never got a raise.

Cons

Paid $850+/month for health insurance for our family. Did PE pay anything toward the health benefits? Probably not. Zero R&D and zero marketing as well. Then, they pulled our quotas out of their butt, with no supporting historical data. Completely unreasonable expectations. Management was vastly overpaid. Quarterly RIF's were routine. If you do not live and work on the East Coast, then you simply do not count.

Pros

Great people in field and customer facing positions. Vast knowledge base of applications and instrumentation.

Cons

Very poor executive leadership- don't want to spend money on marketing, promotion of instrumentation, or relevant customer applications. Most do not know industry. Wonder why sales are decreasing.
