Pros

The health benefits and 401k are competitive with other companies. The field staff does not have to work face to face with management from HQ in Cincinnati, they get to work from their homes.

Cons

Management is incompetent. Raises are given around once every three years at about 2 percent. They will promise vehicle allowances, but these vehicle allowances are at 1999-2000 rates, so you will travel 3000-5000 miles per month and will be paid around 21 cents per mile. Managers treat employees terrible...if employees have issues that need resolving, management motto is "It is what it is" If complaints are made to HR, employees will be terminated. Also, Management is irratic about yearly appraisals, about every yhree years. Possibly to keep from giving raises?
