Pros

Great pay. Good Benefits. Nice facility.

Cons

I can't agree more with the negative reviews below. Management does lead by fear and it very much is a "sorority house" - snobby attitude. New upper management was hired in which seems promising. I'm disappointed to see the company let good talent go instead of dealing with the real issues at hand. It's a very stressful environment and their company "values" don't match reality. Everything changes from one day to the next. No consistency. If you thrive in a office like that then go for it. If you don't run - run fast. Some people have been here for years but if corporate wants to see a positive change - then those people negatively impacting the company just need to be let go.

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