Pros

The greatest people in the industry work here.

Cons

Benefits are horrible. Employees pay more for benefits than the company. Deductible is ridiculous and the out of pocket is even worse.

The pay is by commission therefore the amount of money you make is up to your sales. But the commission per sale is very well paid.
