Pros

Great people happy motivated environment great HR department, good benefits and bonuses a company that excels with trying to keep up with the latest employee perks such as a great beautiful office with occasional in house chair massage appointments available, great coffee bar, fresh fruit available all of the time and constant motivational contests with awesome prizes. There is also a gym and yoga classes available. Fabulous cafe on site and also a Doctor's office and full service bank and postal service within this office building. It is truly a great office setting. Base pay is great if you can meet set goals which are sometimes unreasonable your commissions are great as well.

Cons

The office space is amazing but unfortunately you never get a chance to leave your seat to utilize any of the great accommodations offered. The parking is horrible and the office is freezing or baking hot there is no happy medium. At times you are so busy it is a challenge to leave your seat to use the restroom. The other big con is that the management has changed and now so are many other things such as commission schedule and bonuses and some consultants territories are constantly changing and there is no chance to build and keep good rapor with your customers to build a good business. Also the systems concerning what division things are going to be placed in have changed which affects commissions dramatically.

Pros

Remote work and the clients are very nice to work with.

Cons

In my experience, the company's compensation practices lacked transparency and accountability. When employees asked questions about how their earnings, bonuses, or compensation were calculated, clear answers were often difficult to obtain. Decisions affecting employee pay were made without adequate explanation, and requests for clarification frequently went unresolved. What I found particularly concerning was the apparent disconnect between employee compensation outcomes and management compensation. Employees regularly experienced reduced bonuses or earnings, while management and executive leadership appeared largely unaffected by the same business decisions. This created the perception that the financial impact of those decisions was being borne primarily by employees rather than those making them. After repeatedly seeking explanations and receiving few meaningful answers, I lost confidence in the fairness and transparency of the compensation process.
