Pros

Environment is easy going. Most people don't work too hard. If you have kids you can pretty much show up and collect a paycheck. Some snacks and drinks. Ping pong table and some fun activities.

Cons

If you actually want to advance a career and push yourself, the environment is not perfectly setup for that. Most people move too slow for you to be pushed. Many people just kill time on Facebook or do anything other than work, not motivating to actually get things done. Had to quit and find a new job which would actually challenge me and further my career.

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.
