Pros

The people that are left from the prior companies. Some company perks. Flexible schedule and some creativity in your job.

Cons

The management cannot seem to get it right. They make bad decision after bad decision. New management comes in trying to make their mark on the business, change what isn't broken removing good resources from the field. The field is the only one that suffers. The new CEO is the worst. Ruined what was left of the culture that Pat was bringing back. The company went from bad to worse.

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.
