Pros

* You are immersed around the game of golf. * Autonomy is there as long as you preserve it. * Pay was great 5 years ago. *The people that have remained a stronghold and the ones that have been lost over the years outside of upper management.

Cons

* Favortism is rampant from top-down. *Culture is driven by your manager. You could feel like you’re working for 7 different companies depending on whom your direct report is. If you challenge the status quo for more efficiency, you’re deemed negative. Very toxic positivity. *Has become an activity based company vs. results based company. *When you do drive home results, there is no thanks given, no noticing, just more pressure to repeat what you did, but more. *They abuse the reps sample accounts. Constantly shipping product to your house with no notice and it’s egregious. Fortresses of boxes and you’re liable if anything is missing. *Very cheap spend on company resources. *Horrendous Communication Strategies. *You are pressured into playing a Shell game to justify “distribution of product” as it helps your ranking. But if you get caught doing what you’re instructed to do, there is no grace for your punishment. *Gross misspend of marketing budget. *Leadership uses fear and spreadsheets to drive home initiatives. Most of them are accountants at best. Not leaders of people.

Pros

Good brand following in the industry. Great if you love golf

Cons

The environment is very toxic. HR is a joke. People tell HR everything and NOTHING gets done. On the contrary , they get promoted and the folks you mentioned anything are fired. The CIO has a bunch of minions that follow him around and there is blatant favoritism. Very old technology and technology growth is minimal to none in terms of innovation. Pay is terrible and on the lower side.
