Pros

*Great Products *Amazing Discount *Location far away from traffic *Nice Building for the most part *Mostly nice people *If you are hired as a sales rep, you just hit the lottery and landed maybe the best job on earth

Cons

*Little to no room for career advancement unless you have some sort of in with upper management *If you start as a temp or contractor, don't expect to ever be hired *Undeserving employees get promotions *Horrible communication between groups *Absolutely no work/life balance. Hours are 8-5 and there are very few things to make you feel human through the year. One Party in the summer that lasts an hour during your lunch break. No fun otherwise. *Sales reps are treated like gods, but they sell a product which sells itself. *After multiple years working here, I never once spoke to my bosses boss or the CEO and I work in the same building. *No recognition unless your one of managements few favorites *Very hard to get fired here. There is a long process if management decides they want to fire you. This could be seen as a pro if you are a lazy person, but to people who actually work hard it's a con as they see lazy people cruise through the day and make more money than you in the process. *Mostly an older crowd. If you are a younger person you will be with mostly older people. Certain departments have a lower average age but company wide average is probably between 40 and 50.

Pros

Opportunity to represent the most prestigious name in the golf industry. Quality products that are top sellers in nearly every golf shop. Great customer base who are very loyal to the brand. I always had a great relationship with my immediate managers and felt that they were always on your side. Pay used to be good when you were promoted to the field, but that has changed in recent years.

Cons

It has been very sad to see the decline of this company as the new (private) ownership has changed the overall atmosphere. This company used to value its employees and that showed in the long tenure of many of the sales representatives. Recently there have been many layoffs purely for the reason to cut costs and increase the company's value on paper with no regard for the future. I made the mistake of having loyalty towards the company and thinking it would always be there for me. Morale has been plummeting as long term (and productive) employees have been let go with no warning. On the product side, the motto has seemed to be "Fire, Ready, Aim" in recent years which has resulted in frustrated customers waiting for backordered product. Definitely a male dominated operation -- especially on the sales and management fronts.

Pros

-company makes great products and is doing well -compensation's good, albeit diluted for salaried folks when you extrapolate rate for actual hours worked -solid benefits with a lot of self-serve resources (gym) -outstanding golf perks if you play

Cons

-burnout culture...everyone's overworked and overcommitted to a project pipeline that seemingly grows every week...there's no ebb and flow...it's constant pressure all the time...I expect the occasional long week to hit milestones..it just can't be every week...and it is...I never feel "caught up" here, just constantly overwhelmed -people are short with you...I used to think it was a Massachusetts culture thing, but I think it's an everyone's burned out thing instead -Aloof management would rather spend millions to build an atrium (human terrarium) at an office no one wants to work from anymore than hire additional talent to help with its project appetite - -priority shifts often feel arbitrary...don't make much sense in the big picture -humorless work culture...ZERO laughs...it's like the opening scene from Joe vs. The Volcano except with golf shirts and khakis
