Pros

It was a good product and everyone was very nice in the office. They did a great job of training and making sure that you knew what was going on with the products.

Cons

There are all kinds of unnecessary quotas that aren't too terribly hard to hit, but they are pointless. People that have worked there for a long time are asked to do things so differently that it makes it difficult for them to want to stay.

Pros

Great benefits, salary, hours, flexibilty. A laissez faire style of management, allowing for decision making, learning and individual sense of purpose. Very easy going and informal.

Cons

Great lack of knowledge sharing (documentation) resulting in delaying business continuity and difficulty in getting fellow employees to discuss/act/think outside their own box.
