Pros

Great support folks, upper management decent, work from home. Good work - life balance.

Cons

Base salary and benefits are awful. They want 10+ years experience in IT, but pay you like you just got out of college. All people want to help you succeed, but when the rubber hits the road, no one is around to assist you. Unless you're in the top 10% of the sales group, you're treated as the only person on the island. When you attend a off site meetings, unless you're in the "President's Club" you are required to room with someone or pay 1/2 of the room out of pocket.

Pros

The people & culture are great after more than a decade there you build solid relationships. Manufacturer incentives are nice but normally directed to people thet don't deserve them.

Cons

Senior mgmt unfortunately. President is very nice yet disconnected. The VP of sales does not understand loyalty and sends his henchman to enforce metrics that do not "drive a behavior" in a positive manner.

Not For Everyone!

Pros

The saying over worked and underpaid doesn't apply here. They take the time to train you, along with decent compensation, and benefits.

Cons

Once your a couple weeks in, criticism is an everyday thing from managers that care nothing less than making money for themselves. A lot of the staff is very judgmental, almost a high school setting with the amount of back talk that occurs within the company. If you're not making sales goals, they will do whatever they can to break you. They have a horrific turnover rate, anyone there that works for the company for more than 2 years can tell you that. If you're not someone that can handle cold calling, it is not the place for you. Once within the company, you will hear from all the veterans, PCC is either for you, or not.
