Big Gap between hourly and Mid management & up positions
CAD/CAM Specialist (Former Employee), memphis, tn – March 28, 2013
Pros: the managers seem to do their own thing, regardless of company rules. if you are fortunate, and get a good boss, your tenure there will be enjoyable.
Cons: have had two lay-offs in the last two years.
Very political climate. Most often employees are treated not according to their performance or qualifications, but according to how good a buddy you are to the boss.

Holmes Road (Former Employee), Memphis,tn Holmes Road – September 23, 2012
Not organized. You never know exactly what you will have to do the next day. And I worked through the temporary service and if they don't pick you to work within that year you are without a job.

Strange Place to Work
Administrator (Former Employee), Durham, NC – August 27, 2012
Pros: was able to work from home
Cons: people seemed to think very highly of themselves, and not much of others.
Management is strange, and the reasonings for doing things makes no sense. People seem to come and go all the time here. Co-workers were nice, but most people worked from home which was nice.

Strategic Marketing Intern (Former Employee), Saint Petersburg, FL – March 21, 2012
Pros: great people, guidance, team lunches, welcoming culture
Cons: restrictive compliance and regulatory, a lot of individual work
So many responsibilities. If you're shy to hard work, look elsewhere. You'll be serving as the global support for product managers worldwide. Major project management skills are needed to keep you sane. However, the knowledge of which you leave with is massive.

Pros: subsidised lunches. shuttle from the gate every morning .
Cons: we work at head office therefore we service many of our other branches aroud sout africa, which can be very demanding at times.
I get to the office and go through my email, then list all those that need to be actioned. Collect all filing doccumentation and assist managers with various tasks they need done through out the day.

I have learnt the importance of time management and prioritising ttasks as well as paying attention to detail because a minor insignificant mistake could – more... have a major effect on another level.

My co-workers are very pleasent and friendly people which makes my day at the office that much easier.

My job gets rather challenging whenever we have multiple conferances to prepair for at the same time because they are usually in diffarent cities and each have quite a large quantity of marketing mateial handle. However it is very rewarding for me to be aknowledged for the hard work and extra hours i sometimes put in and a new task always gets me excited and eager to get to work. – less
