Business Outlook

Pros

Very few, some of my coworkers were very friendly but that's about it

Cons

Company is growing at a head-turning rate, probably because the entire operation will be illegal within the year and they're trying to rake in as much money as they can in the meantime.

Business Outlook

Pros

- You get swag and nice gifts sometimes (only if you're on VIP) - You're very likely to be smarter than your manager - You can work from home I guess

Cons

- They hire absolute idiots - It's really just a big you-know-what contest between guys who were obviously losers in college and high school - You are just a number - They act like they care to make you work your ~tail off and then proceed to give you zero recognition or incentives or perks - They do NOT pay the sales people who bring in millions of dollars individually every year fairly at all - If you resign after a quarter ends they will not pay your commission for the work YOU ALREADY DID. Also don't even try to be considerate and put in your two weeks they'll shut that computer right down and refuse to pay you for anything - outstanding expense reports, two weeks pay, incentive plan/quarterly commission etc - Toxic culture of micromanagement by men who have no idea what they are doing - Relies on "flashy" events or random non-important things and fear-based leadership to make people think they are lucky to work there - I've never worked with someone who wasn't white
