Pros

NONE .Really.There is nothing to like at this company.

Cons

EVERYTHING ! This company is a joke ! REALLY! Management on site is incompetent,just making sure that their positions are not challenged by smarter people, who are eliminated if detected. Order-takers stay around longer and get promoted with no merits whatsoever.GM`s don`t have any sort of recognizable education .If they do, it comes from 6th tier schools that no one ever heard of ( on-line perhaps...).Corporate is getting even worse with VP`s backing each others`s decisions,not caring about customers and holding tight to their seats so no one takes their spot.Try to contact un upper level corporate manager and you`ll get no where with a small complain.Trying to reach to the CEO ?...Good luck ! You`ll easier sell an eskimo ice.What CEO hides behinds his managers and doesn`t respond to call or e-mails ? Ohhh..I know...an incapable one. Other than that, hoping for more and more dealers to stop dealing with them so that they could go out of business soon.It`s in the looms anyway ....
