Pros

THey are a strong company wit a very strong brand. Financially stable. Highly focused on training and consistency across the sales organization. Great company to work for on the operations side, but sales people are treated like cattle who are herded in and easily replaced.

Cons

Opportunities for advancement are low. The "good ol boys" club is VERY tight-knit and it's very difficult to break into that group without sacrificing: pride, integrity, and work life balance. Promotions are based upon likeability rater than capability.
