Really wanted to like this company......
Pros: Pros:
*  Health insurance benefit options are great and low cost compared to a lot of other companies  -  I have been really happy with the insurance
*  Flexibility if you are allowed to take advantage of it -  a lot of people work from home/remotely, but my understanding is that the company wants to move away from that more these days
*  Winter Break -  The company shuts down from Christmas to New Year's -  it is really nice to have a real break without any expectation of getting work done.  Very rare
Cons: Cons:  There are so many -  I will try to keep the list short:
*  The pace if you work in Sales or support Sales.  It is unbelievable.  Everything is micromanaged and every week is busy  -  there are no slow weeks at this company
*  The shockingly terrible lack of better internal systems/automated processes considering the products that this company sells.  All of my deliverables are manual and I do not have direct access to data -  I always have to rely on another group to send me data
*  The disappointing alpha male mentality in Sales/supporting Sales.  It is 2018, not 1990 -  the environment needs to be more balanced and less frat boy-like
