Pros

There weren't many but there was cool people to work with, some free lunches/breakfast, casual environment and attire , a good amount of time off to start.

Cons

Where do I start..... 1) Horrible working conditions, mainly in warehouse 2) Long hours (10-11 hour day MINIMUM) 3) Underpaid for the work you actually do. 4) Little to none raises. When you do get a raise, the after total is less than new hires of same spot 5) Don't let them fool you with the BS salary pay, its hourly. 6) You work 10+ hour days, but any day you take off, you only can put in 8 hours, meaning loss of pay because you wouldn't be getting as much overtime pay as you would if you did work that day/weel 7) Promotions based on who you know, not what you know or experience I probably could go on, but there is too many.... do not apply/work here. You will regret it after a couple of weeks.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
