Pros

Nationally-deployed AV systems integrator, with its sights focused on doing business with large-scale, Fortune 500 companies. If you like working in an environment where you will be interacting with the "big boy" firms, you will have that opportunity at Whitlock.

Cons

The company entered the highly competitive Silicon Valley market with too light a footprint, and years after its local competition had established themselves. Too few human resources, too little in the way physical resources to meet the requirements of highly-demanding accounts they targeted (the biggest firms in the tech sector). Especially when compared to other, longer-established (in the territory) integrators, who had been cultivating business relationships with those same clients for years, and who had built physical and human infrastructures long before Whitlock entered the local market.

Pros

- Great reputation in the industry - Both financial and manpower resources are available - Income potential is strong for sales - Benefits are strong - Strong national presence - Good folks

Cons

- Regional management may not be as strong as it needs to be (education, experience, management skills). - Project management ranks are a bit weak in capabilities and experiences which can cause some projects to struggle - Motto might be less is more, they tend to work people to the point of exhaustion at all levels in an effort to run lean. - Just too much to do with the available manpower resources which causes mistakes and lost profit opportunities - Can be very "high school" unfortunately - Internal processes can cause tremendous back ups and frustration although it is recognized that in many causes they are for good intentions
