Pros

Great people, for the most part. There are very few people I dislike working with. There were some bumpy years, but things have smoothed out. Exciting future after the acquisition closes, though there's some level of uncertainty with any acquisition.

Cons

Acquisition is also a con with job security a concern. Upper management does have a reputation for having a "their way or the highway" approach, but so far their decisions have worked out. If you don't live in Warsaw, there is a very hard limit in how far you can go in the company.

Pros

You get to carry great products

Cons

Local management are lame ducks milking the area for everything it is worth within the territory run by advantage. Policies are ridiculous and reps are just maintaining as opposed to selling.
