Pros

Paycheck. Got to travel and get miles, etc

Cons

Told 25% travel and really was 70% travel. I get yelled at so I yell at my people culture. Company has moved HQ 3 times in the past decade - commute into chicago is awful. Just a marketing and sales arm of the parent company in Japan.

Pros

Hands on, operating big equipment. Product is good. Opportunity to go to Japan. Job security. Marketing Events

Cons

Department runs extremely lean. Heavy workload without enough bandwidth to complete the expected tasks. Travel is excessive. A lot of knowledge is gathered by going to the field and getting it yourself. Management doesn’t assist in training you to be successful in your job. You figure that out yourself. Limited opportunity for advancement. Limited influence on Japan with product design. Company is not agile and changes happen very slow.
