Pros

Working close to the hardware. My coworkers are awesome people. My first-line manager is considerate, understanding, and shares our burdens. Yearly raises, interesting work, and opportunities to stand out.

Cons

My bonuses are continually stiffed by decisions that happen way above me, for which I have no control. We keep hearing the customer wants us to win, wants us to be successful – meanwhile they are buying the competition.

Advice to Management

Listen to the customer. Listen to the customer. Listen to the customer. (Do I need to repeat it?)
