Pros

You learn a lot about business and technology. I came out a much better seller by learning the ins and outs of average sale price, units per transaction, customer centricity, close reate, NOP, price margins, etc. I learned a lot about many of the products they sell.

Cons

Hourly updates and questioning on sales performance. Lack of respect. Most managers never actually work in the position of a sales associate in their lives. I have no problem with changes. I think change is good. However, they were changing so much and so often, every week there was a new abbreviation or little slogan, or buzzword we had to remember and recite our knowledge of in our seemingly weekly district manager walks.

Pros

The ROWE working environment is very cool in that it gives you freedom to work wherever as long as the work gets done. You make your job what it is...that is to say you have some latitude to do great things.

Cons

Like any company, some of the management styles of leadership is lacking. They seem to go with the "flavor of the day" and lose interest in company-wide initiatives after a while. There are some middle managers that should never be given the right to manage people.
