Pros

Company offers profit sharing. Focuses on high performance selling. You truly get to know B2B.

Cons

In order for a promotion you must know the "right people". They will hire managers who only do as they are told. Basically puppets to upper management. These managers don't push back to to stand up for their employees. Ultimately, the employees looses all respect. Reason being they don't have a clue how to effectively manage and motivate employees.
