Pros

Training is good. There is room to move into management. The office is located in a nice building.

Cons

Be prepared to work long hours. Turnover is very high. I lasted two years and was by far the most tenured in the office. Sales reps are thought to strong arm their prospects. They will sell you on the potential to make 6 figures, but the truth is very little reps make 6 figures. Base salary and car package is very low for the industry. Company does not supply cell phone or lap top.

Your review is interesting, because we have not experienced turnover in our St. Louis office in over a year. We provide our representatives with the tools they need to do their jobs, and do them well. This includes a cell phone and car allowance, in addition to an uncapped commission structure. Many sales jobs are compensated based on the individuals hard work and we understand not everyone is a fit for our award-winning sales program, but we wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
