Pros

The company hasn't changed it's culture from the first time I was here. They go above and beyond to keep their employees happy. They spend just as much on their employees happiness, as they do in just basic operations of the company. THAT is saying something! They have easy to use systems, and systems that actually function. It's great to feel empowered to help people.

Cons

The only con was training, as fun and lively as it was, it was too mundane. The information was stuff I already knew. It was complete review for me, and I'd like to just have jumped to doing my job. The trainer gave very few stand up and breathe or stretch your leg type breaks so it seemed very monotonous and I feel like our class lost motivation and energy during the day because of this.

Pros

These guys have a thorough hiring process to bring only the best to their team, which creates an intelligent and professional environment which is both fun and inspiring! The managers really are seeking your success- they care what your personality and vision can contribute to the team as well as to your career. Since you're taking care of there customers, they take care of you. From day one, my training group has been well taught, and played as hard as we've worked. Some perks: - Discounts at major retailers - Subsidized Meals - Flexible Schedules - On Site Gym - Loads of coaching and development - Assistance with School - Insurance and more!

Cons

Only a short commute, but they offer work from home options.
