Good place to get your feet wet- but then RUN

Business Outlook

Pros

Good start to get your feet wet and something on a resume.

Cons

Micro-managing at its peak! There is a small group of Sales VP's who basically run the show and the politics are horrific. You're promised that if you do well you will move up (I had over my numbers in EVERY area for well over 2.5 years) but didn't move up. One of the highest VP's refuses to promote women unless he's attracted to and sleeping with them. The environment is hostile and makes you angry daily! If you NEED a job, its money but not even at a market standard. Looks good on a resume and the training is okay but after that RUN LIKE HECK!
