Some great people, but terrible culture overshadows that.

Pros

Pay was decent. They have a partial 401k match and stock options, if you're brave. There are some nice people working there. There's a gym in the corp office and a caf where a local Italian restaurant brings some pretty tasty salads, chicken parm, etc.

Cons

Literally everything else. Antiquated systems, bonus structure that makes it hard/unlikely to make your full bonus potential. Much of upper management gossips doesn't treat employees with respect. Had mass layoffs that resulted in people being "promoted" with a little extra pay, but actually doing 2 jobs. Culture is hard to explain, but it's not pleasant. Hard to understand how there can be such nice, but still a feeling of doom. I knew on my first day that it just wasn't right, and that feeling stayed until I left. Building is dark and musky.

Pros

Very nice facilities to work in, controller has been there 15+ yrs

Cons

Mid level accounting managers are inept and inexperienced. Constantly putting out fires and never dealing with the big issues like how poorly SAP setup was botched. Don't walk, run from this place. Business is doing poorly and one of their biggest customers (GAP) just closed 175 stores.

Pros

The people at Checkpoint/Checkview are amazing. Many come from a military background since the emphasis of the company is on physical security for retail customers.

Cons

The company used to show its employees that it cared for them. Several turnovers in senior management later, and the atmosphere is one of subdued gloom. Several positions have been eliminated in a desperate cost-savings attempt. The remaining employees are overworked and very under-appreciated.
