Pros

Pay dependent on load, fellow coworkers.

Cons

Management, especially upper management will directly lie to your face about the status of what you will be joining. I was told I would be helping establish a growing "sister" branch, I was told the properties were not that bad and just needed some things ironed out. Upon meeting each account, I learned that there no account manager for almost 4 months prior to my joining and they were livid. I spent 6 months working from 7 to 7 alongside having to drive an hour to and from home to be told that I was "Not on site enough" and "Didn't care". This company will lie to your face, not train you, leave you alone with no support, and will drop and blame you for poor performance when your largest contract decides to cancel renewal less than 2 months after you started working there. Play close attention to the wording they use, the deflection of blame and responsibility, and the lack of making good decisions. Please keep track of them constantly telling you to white lie to every customer about every situation while also telling you the best way to gain trust is to be transparent. DO NOT spend more time here than you need to and DO NOT work more than what seems reasonable for being in a salary position (roughly 45 hours max). They will throw you under the bus the second it becomes available as management, especially upper management only looks to make themselves look better while deflecting all blame possible.

Pros

Good employees. Standard benefits package. No cap on commissions. Occasional catered meals.

Cons

Unfortunately, as with any large publicly traded company the goal is to keep investors pleased and there is high pressure to perform and grow business in an economic climate where stability is more realistic than growth. The company is structured by different branches, that function as their own cost center while reporting numbers to corporate. This structure makes sense on paper, but unfortunately leads to fractured relationships between branches and departments, leading to a loss of potential revenue. There is favoritism with the top earners being handed their accounts and not having to do much actual hunting or prospecting. Health insurance is very expensive with high deductibles. Usage of company car is deducted from paycheck. A large majority of what is performed could be considered "field work" that most companies would hire hourly employees to do and would qualify as overtime.
