Pros

Growth Industry Some locations are much better than others Good potential in sales positions to make good money depending on what city you are in

Cons

Left a review back in 2014 and wish I could change it now. Lots of cons: Lack of recognition Little accountability All about the numbers now, V&Bs are promoted but take a back seat to the numbers now. Massive push in the past 5 years to grow and produce results. Unfortunately results nowadays mean profits, not always service. Once company was sold off to private equity firms, they only have one goal, to produce returns. Beware of the kool-aid from the top, these private equity firms are not really any different than publicly held companies, they exist for ONE sole reason, to make the returns they promised to their investors (pensions, etc). That itself is not a bad thing as you are indirectly supporting teacher pensions, etc, you just need to know the truth. Only major difference is they can do it however they want without being scrutinized because they are private. Just look at the most recent reviews in the past year, the ratings have dropped considerably. It is now a big global company and has the some of the same failings they wanted to avoid of the Siemens and Honeywells of red tape, bureaucracy, being treated like a number, etc.

Pros

Friendly environment, flexibility, decent pay, opportunity for promotion or position change depending on your location

Cons

V&Bs are no longer at the front of how the company is led, teamwork is another way to manipulate you into doing more work for the same pay, concentration on administration costs results in giving more work to people who stay when others leave
