Pros

Fun company to work with Benefits MTO Great and generous discount Team members you work with Free product Engaging contests National sales meeting where you really get to network with the company

Cons

Upper management just doesn't get it They don't listen to advice/suggestions from them field They say "own your business" but, you are micromanaged from top to bottom. Expect to turn in a lot of reports and be on the computer a lot Was loyal for almost 6 years and did not receive the favor in return... Real bummer on that

Loved this job until new upper management swap! DMs micromanaging constantly & are constantly adding new ops which make it hard to focus on sales!
