      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good brand recognition, lots of customers who already buy. Good benefits(when I worked there). Lots of resources, but somewhat disorganized. Good sales training.

      Cons

      Kind of jekell and Hyde management. I'll equipped district managers. Sometimes out of touch with the field level. Slow to move when quick decisions need to be made. Lawyers prohibit a lot of contracts. Goal setting is somewhat arbitrary- reps get different %goals. Leads to favoritism. Easy to push reps out.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      So far it seems that management is more than willing to help in the advancement of each individual employee, laid back.

      Cons

      Micromanaged like some of previous posters have stated.
