Pros

Good learning experience notably in areas related to my specialty.

Cons

Salary inequity is a huge problem there. Very poor teamwork and management only makes thinly veiled attempts at improvement but appears to be satisfied with constantly declining employee feedback reports. This company also enforces pay rate ranks. Information they hide until one reached their upper limit then regardless of performance rating cannot get compensation increases and are then told that it is virtually impossible to have their pay rate classification upgraded. Mid level and upper management also turn a blind eye to some poor performers and problematic staff and the reasoning appears inexplicable to the rank and file.

Pros

Honestly the only positive thing that comes to mind is the benefits were decent.

Cons

This company loses market share on a daily basis. The culture is depressing, comp plan is insulting, and the managers (that I personally worked with) had no prior sales experience. Every team conference call meant muting your phone and surfing the web for an hour while your managers gave Dale Carnegie pep talks. Every decent idea the company had, was taken from what their competitor was already doing.

Pros

Overall the work is rewarding. Benefit package is very good for a company of UL's size. Co-workers are extremely supportive & cooperative. A good place to start your career.

Cons

UL is infested with nepotism & cronyism. Company has been "in transformation" for years, with no end in sight. Day to day work is micro-managed. Computer systems are antiquated. More Operating Procedures than one can keep track of. Middle management obsessed with revenue. Upper management focused on golf tournaments and photo ops.
