Pros

People are always leaving the company so positions are always open if you want to climb the ladder. They have benefits but they aren't very good. The pay is ok for entry level but the increase in rate through years is very limited.

Cons

Employee turnover is horrendous, recognition is basically obsolete. Management is unorganized and conniving. There is very little incentive to stay within the company because they have unrealistic expectations for their reps in regards to client satisfaction. They have a tendency to try and sugar coat everything and never provide the employees with any real information as to the direction the company is going. There is no unification throughout the branches which will often make you feel like each branch in the nation is a completely different company.

Pros

People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

Cons

Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.

Pros

Remote work is a plus. Collaboration from peers is more plus than minus. Documentation of business technology was great for the most part.

Cons

Worse holiday observance company I ever worked for. Pay is low for what is asked. Work/life balance was good until 2025. Mid-level leadership and above is not ideal. I had little guidance when I started so, especially from manager so had to figure things out with help of peers.
