It is virtually impossible to move up in the company. I worked my tail off for years before I realized I was spinning my wheels for absolutely nothing. Plus, as a position that is mostly commissioned, you basically have to start from the ground up, while my former commision-based position put you on a guarantee for a short while until you got ramped up. You are promised the moon and stars when you are interviewing, but in reality you're lucky if you can catch a cloud or a snowflake (and speaking of snow, good luck with that - if you're unable to make it to the office because there is 2 feet of snow on the ground, be prepared to use vacation time to stay home!!). There is a distinct difference in how some people are treated versus others. Managers have their favorites that can get away with quite a bit, while you struggle to get noticed. There is absolutely nothing that is done to keep staff morale up. Some offices are treated great, others are treated like the forgotten step-child. The internal turnover is quite eyeopening. If you ask the few people that left around the same time I did, they'd say "money, opportunity for advancement, a boss that cares about me." Despite all of the fancy words they use in their job ads to attract applicants, really think twice - if you want to work and get a paycheck, it's a good place to work. If you want to work for a company that truely cares for their employees, this is definitely not the right place.
