Pros

Most people were pretty friendly.

Cons

Pretty cold and sterile office environment. Very old school ideas of how to make employees happy (pizza parties, cupcakes once a month, etc.) Awful pay. Lots of people who have been there for a long time and are quite miserable. But if you're looking for boring, stable work... I guess this is for you. This particular location in St. Pete was on a lake, which was beautiful and had a nice boardwalk to walk on, but wasn't near any food you could walk to for lunch save for a Publix.

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.
