      For the ones you get it done

      On-site service associate
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great experience in a fun market segment. Breadth of resources offered for development. Very good job training, coaching, product positioning, reporting, processes and team members. Company and management willing to make difficult changes to continue to reach company and individual goals.

      Cons

      The company has many internal processes, reporting and meetings that may be imbalanced versus time working with customers.

      Good place to work if you don't mind being undermined, no room for promotion unless your "special one"

      Inbound associate

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      good profit sharing program, insurance is good

      Cons

      pay is nowhere near what it should be for what they want, everything is driven by numbers on productivity evaluation process is a crap shoot, people are given 'MVP" awards for not meeting production, doing as little as possible, while those of us that bust our butts night in and night out get an atta boy. Process Managers don't have a clue how to do or even evaluate our jobs

      Great Company, Still Some Opportunity

      Operations manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cohesive Strategy integrated throughout the company, Great Benefits (Profit Sharing = Awesome), Inclusive cultures, Opportunities to learn, development focused (employee coaching and development planning)

      Cons

      Hard to move into different functions even with development plan, Even with focus on leveraging experiences and backgrounds vs. previous positions/title/education and encouragement towards making problems visible the company is still very rigid and "old school" in some regard. I think this is also influenced by your direct leadership and which part of the company you work for in addition to a lot of tenured employees which is also a pro.
