Pros

The interview process is very tough, but it allows the company to chose great candidates for each position while weeding out less driven individuals. The company has great YOY growth and a very in depth training period for all new graduates and young professionals that join. You are in a macro managed environment which is great for the entrepreneurial sales driven individuals. The compensations is also very competitive for the area in Fort Myers.

Cons

The interview was a 5-stage process which the recruiting team missed/rescheduled after the interview was already supposed to be taking place. I moved 1200 miles to their Fort Myers office, only to be let go due to not fitting the designated sales territory style of sales a day after graduating the sales training course. This was during the Hurricane Irma tragedy, and trainers/managers were not understanding how it affected individuals who lost power and had damaged property. After coming on board and passing their 3-month training (you can be let go at anytime if you’re under performing, don’t ace every test and role play, or **your personality doesn’t match your desired sales territory**). 5 of 8 individuals, who also relocated, were let go for this same position for similar reasons. You need to be very cautious and ensure you willing to take such risks as they can affect your future career and life.

Pros

Wish I had one, decent benefits package.

Cons

Dated products, area managers are clueless micro managers and have no idea what they are doing - fort Myers initiation process is the dumbest process ever conceived. Run from Gartner, fry job at McDonalds has more upside potential.

Pros

Opportunity to get out on the right foot and have something on your resume for your next job.

Cons

A few things: 1. Downward trend of becoming hyper focused on metrics, which creates a micromanaged culture. You'll read a number of reviews about poor middle management, and I find that this is mostly true with a few good outliers. 2. Unfortunately, middle management is programmed to be completely metrics driven and almost don't blame them for their tactics, because it's being passed down from above. 3. To provide a bit of context.. my wedding day fell on a quarters close and my direct management was visibly upset for not thinking about such an important work date while planning out the single most important day of my entire life. It didn't stop there though, they prevented a member of the bridal party from attending, saying indirectly that it wouldn't be a good career move for them, so I'm left with an uneven bridal party. Hope this puts in perspective that you are nothing but a laborer, and not due basic human courtesies like major life events. A quarter close comes before a wedding.
