      Pros

      Very systematic Decent schedule Room to grow Constant training Managers stand up for their employees Can move to pretty much anywhere in the country

      Cons

      Terrible pay plan for the industry. Bring back the old pay plan or something a salesperson can actually live off of. Especially to compensate for the cost of living in Southern California! Takes forever to accumulate pto. Gives 1 week for the first year where most places give 2 weeks. Don't be so cheap! We make you tons of money!

      Pros

      The department is work from home.

      Cons

      They do not provide any equipment/laptops and make you pay for your own virus protection. Extreme micromanagement leaves employees with little autonomy and creates unnecessary stress. Frequent layoffs and high turnover. Inconsistent scheduling and long hours, including recurring 10-14 hour days yet ending the week with no overtime. Employees are blamed for slow business conditions they cannot control. Unpaid on-call expectations when the work load is low. Low compensation relative to workload. Management often complains about having to answer employee questions, creating an environment where people feel discouraged from seeking guidance or clarification. Employees are treated as replaceable rather than valued contributors.
