Pros

Team dynamics are solid - collaboration is real, not just buzzwords. Leads and upper management walk the talk when it comes to support - You’re not left alone when things get rough. You're given actual room to think, design, and challenge inefficient workflows - no micromanagement theater. Off-season offers breathing space, with predictability that allows for planning and recovery. HR and leadership genuinely put effort into employee wellbeing. It’s not a checkbox - they show up. CSR isn’t just a line in a report—real initiatives with community impact are taken seriously.

Cons

Nothing major cons as of now.

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Cons

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
