Previous employer: training but not certifications paid for. Only the "chosen few" (favorites of the boss) ever got to take any training or get to work on the high-profile projects, while the rest of us did the drek work to keep the place alive for never even as much as a "thanks, guys."
Current employer: training and certifications paid for. Training is availabe on almost any (reasonable) subject, and may be taken during normal work hours when the workload permits. Now working as part of a team that views itself as a team and takes both credit (when available) and blame (when necessary) as a unit.
