Pros

Good for startup company to learn

Cons

Everything else. Management sucks. I left in 2007. Massive turnover. When I first started, the company had no redundancy. I told them as a Senior Central office technician to put modems at each site to dial into the router if the WAN link goes down. Well it happened in 2007 and as. 5 minute outage turned into a 9 hour outage. The Director (Tom) and VP (Chris) blamed me. Pretty pathetic. Same thing happened with their core router in Macon when it went down and no redundancy. I soon left afterwards.

Pros

Direct manager helped me get my foot in the door and learn coding. Great work environment and co-workers. I compare all jobs to this one as it had a good relaxed yet professional environment.

Cons

Higher up managers not involved with employees and make uninformed decisions.

Pros

You had to be tenacious and resilient to excel at this company, which are good traits to develop in a sales role. Enjoyable people for the most part. Freedom to run your own business.

Cons

They hid our commission reports from us for over a year in the hopes that we wouldn't dispute incorrect payments. At one point they overpaid commission to some of us and waited until an out of state awards dinner to use it as blackmail against us. Poorly handled overall and very sneaky on their part. Our VP came to the office to eliminate our district mgr position, but caught wind of it and pushed out our sales mgr and took his job. Let's just say, the sales staff all quit within 2 months due to her very poor management style.
