Pros

Overall, I have experienced great management personally. The company and the position has provided me a great work life balance. They have also provided tuition reimbursement so that I could pursue a graduate education. The sales training was thorough and continues to improve with new sales models. The compensation has been fair in terms of salary, though bonuses have declined over the last several years.

Cons

The company does not provide enough pathways for development. It was heavily focused on FLM development but does not provide enough alternatives for other areas or opportunities to do rotations. Though I have personally experienced good management I have seen more than my share of incompetent management in other territories.

Pros

Good pay, benefits, resources, reputation.

Cons

Too many chefs sometimes nearly spoiling the soup, then the kitchen staff has to come to the rescue. Our group delivered way above expectations and was promised great things in return and then essentially dismantled with no warning.
