Pros

Company offers a unique niche in Alcohol Monitoring. Its trying to punch above their weight limit.

Cons

Upper Management is too removed from the day to day issues facing the company. Middle management is too scared for career stability to state their concerns. Upper management are unwilling to listen to those who are in direct contact with the real customer complaints. They mask issues. CEO is intimidating. Sales are stagnant as they have saturated the market. Too many changes internally have crippled the front line employees in their ability to satisfy Customer needs. Support staff is over worked and unfortunately undertrained. This is due to the introduction of too many products on a department that is not growing in numbers to support the expanded product line. Upper Sales staff have left in last 8 months. Leaving lesser experienced to make deals and explain technologies to customers the barely understand themselves. Latest technology is creating issues for customers due to rushing it into field before it was ready, leaving sales and support holding the bag.

Pros

Hybrid schedule Snacks in office PTO Sick time 3% 401k match Most of the employees in the company are kind and awesome to work with OK job security before company acquisition. Job security is questionable now with the company merger since they are planning to make a profit and sell the company.

Cons

Offshore teams result in very early morning calls Expectation is to wear many hats and do any task/job asked Not enough employees to distribute work load resulting in burnout Company overall is having a lot of turn over Every day the work is well over an 8 hr day due to immense work loads Pay is below market for each job Company merger has created a lot of uncertainty Promotion opportunities are slim There is no safe space for employees to speak if they have an issue. HR does not keep confidentiality Having a new CEO focused on making money to sell the company does not create a comfortable environment for employees. What will happen to the employees when they decide to sell the company? Will they lay off employees to lower costs? There are many people in the company who are completely unprofessional. HR and management is aware and nothing is done to correct their behavior. A few bad apples do indeed create a toxic work environment
