Pros

Good incentive, good benefits, great coworkers when they are not frustrated about not being able to tell the truth about what they see. It's a good company with some issues but it can be fixed if the company actually realizes the issue.

Cons

The pay is low for what you do, doesn't matter how many years you've been there (10-15 loyal years) someone hired 6 months ago can make more than you because the cost of living has raised, but at the same time you don't get the cost of living raise because you "already make enough" yet they are STARTING someone else (same level as you) above you. You are also TEACHING these people how to do their jobs but they still make more than you. No matter how many years/how well you know your job it's not as important has having a degree when it comes to getting promoted. Your coaches and team leaders come to you (someone who is more experienced than them) for help troubleshooting a problem even though you are only a "rep" who answers calls. It's unfortunate to know that experienced individuals are getting passed up for leadership positions because they don't play the politics game. The company wants to reach a certain profitability, yet you have imbeciles leading their "peers" to greatness. Reps.. Knowing more than coaches and some team leaders but they don't have the "exposure" to be treated as equals. Things would happen in a more fluid way if everyone were on the same page.

Pros

Nice people, great atmosphere, on-site nurse, gym on site, cafeteria. Hard working people working there because they love the company but arent being compensated properly.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement, same people doing same job for 20+ years, management will play favorites and ignore warning signs then have to fire someone they just gave a major award to. When positions do become open, applying is a waste of time because they have already decided who to hire. HR department is known for misleading prospective new hires.
