Pros
Canadian company provides excellent health benefits and many paid holidays. Volunteer days are paid. Many employee meal perks and lavish sales conferences twice a year. Generous sales incentives and bonuses for presidents club
Cons
Horrendously bureaucratic. Too many chefs in the kitchen, via middle management. Unless you are in the "boys club" you are an outsider. If you aren't an alcoholic you are a nobody. most offices hire extremely young fresh out of college, if not younger, candidates. Tons of beautiful women hired strictly on looks and favored because of it, regardless of skill level in any capacity. Management techniques are boiler room driven and are levels (micro managers). Lots of chatter not enough action. Not minority friendly environment (race/gender/disability). Preach team based strategies, but in reality, an "Every man for himself" environment. Sales approaches are borderline auto sales tactics. Known to fire customer accounts with little hesitation due to lack of profit extraction. Managerial level support is absolutely non-existent. Customers are only treated properly if they are a large source of gross profit. Services organization is a complete mess. Services division, Licensing, and Hardware divisions communicate very little and work against teamwork in counterproductive ways due to egos/territories overlapping. Team work is non existent. District managers are lazy and feel entitled. Absolutely the worst place for someone to work with any level of intelligence whatsoever. Base salary is a joke. commission structure is purposefully vague and misleading. Unless you look like a cast member for the Jersey Shore, you can forget about fitting in. Only hire Caucasian, slender, highschool/college level frat/sorority types. Drug use is rampant at sales conferences. Middle Management/Specialists/Vendor Reps are offensively unqualified and are only rewarded their positions based on favoritism and brown nosing.
