Pros

The offices are all pretty small so no matter where you work you feel like you are part of a small company. We sell a great product which is really fun to talk about and demonstrate. Expectations are high and that is why our results have always been so good.

Cons

Some people are disappointed because the owners are not perceived as generous (no match on the 401k) but the sales compensation plans are very generous. It really depends on how you define generous and what is important to you. The people who don't succeed here are the ones who fight the culture. We are growing and changing and some people cannot cope with that. It really just boils down to knowing yourself, what work environment is good for you, then go find it. If the expectations seem high, you have to step up and do better. If you don't *want* to do better, you are in the wrong company.

The structure of the company has completely changed in the past two years. Many of our team members have been promoted into management roles as we build the infrastructure to support our growth. It is an exciting time here!

Pros

None since the old leadership left

Cons

Don’t be fooled by the interview promises of talk about “work-life balance” or “family values”, it’s strictly public relations. The reality is a severe double standard in leadership. This place is full of long tenure favorites regularly takes time off with zero notice and passing their workload onto others expecting them to drop their plans at a minute’s notice. If you are NOT one of the favorites and you take time off for a family emergency or personal illness, even if it’s unpaid, you are immediately placed on the chopping block under the guise of “structure reorganization.” Meanwhile the favorites do minimum work, continue to collect their bonuses and taking off whenever they want. If you value your career growth and life outside of work, avoid. All you get here is stagnation with zero room for growth.
