Pros

This is a good company to kick start your career in a industry, but not to stay in it to long. A good thing to stick on your resume

Cons

Do not expect to get paid anywhere near industry standard. Raises are nothing, and promotions barely get any bump in raise. They overwork and pile on so many projects, you aren't just a instructional designer your more of a graphic artist, audio engineer, e-learning specialist, video creator, and instructional designer all in one without any of the pay. Seriously I made WAY less then $60,000, (some of the senior instructional designer made less then that) this isn't a good long term job you will burn out so fast. I witnessed so many mental health leaves (with no pay) on several coworkers just because they couldn't keep up. Good resume builder, not so healthy job.

Pros

Licenses are paid for by the company The early trainings are effective Strong values that help set employees on the right path of actions professionally

Cons

"Limitless compensation" is oversold when there may not be ample opportunities to make a 6 figure income that they might promise. Work/Life Balance is a struggle as it is normal to assume 60+ hour weeks outside of internal sales competitions, and 70+ hour expectations during those periods The work culture can greatly vary based on your director and regional VP. Some are amazing, and care deeply. Others will throw you under the bus without second thought because you are easily replaceable.
