Pros

They pay slightly above minimum wage

Cons

Training for doing cold calling was an hour tops. There is threshold you must meet on Sales to be able to get a commission, otherwise the agent eats your commission. There is no real role designation so everyone is doing everything rather than having departments, this leads to constant mix ups and holds through the office because only 1 or 2 team members is qualified to answer most of the questions at the office. Overall the biggest con is that the place has a really aggressive work environment, with the boss only coming into the office an hour a day to glare at the staff and yell.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
