      Fun culture, cheap company

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Met some really great people, def will have some long lasting friendships. Company parties are great! Commissions can be great if you know how to sell your product . Rent discount is outstanding!

      Cons

      The company is getting cheaper and cheaper leading to things like cut positions, meaning the people who stay are now being overworked to work multiple positions. Company expectations cause them to be burnt out and many great people leave . Product quality is also declining.
