Pros

Great core company values, great co-workers, good discount on products, generous bonus. Working with smart committed people who truly believe in the mission and values of the company. Great culture.

Cons

Never enough time or resources to get everything done well. High standards of presentation and customer service are expected but payroll is cut to the bone with constant pressure to cut expenses. Our relatively high starting pay for reps used to attract great talent but since it has been cut to par with other retailers it is very hard to find and keep good workers.
