Pros

Lots of good after work activities,

Cons

Low pay, micromanagement everywhere, childish policies (doctors notes, no shift leniency, monitoring your cell phone and internet usage). I honestly cannot think of working for a worse company. They treat their employees like children and try and fool people into thinking the occasional bonus makes them a generous company (despite their low pay). They always tout how they are a not in debt to anyone but still pay below industry average and never give annual raises. Sales people make more in base salary than almost all other departments AND get enormous bonuses, meanwhile bonuses for other departments have been slashed. It is a job farm for people out of college, but my advice is don't take the job and keep looking if they offer you a position. The CEO is actually a nice guy, but I can't say the same of much of the senior management .

Pros

Great base salary - potential for commissions.

Cons

I was told when I started to not expect a sale for the first year, and not to expect to really make good money until I get a hang of it towards the second year. Now, they are telling me they are expecting new people to make a sale in their first 5 months. Most of the veterans who make 6 figures plus after commission will all tell you that they didn't make their first sale until a year into the job, and didn't make real money until their second year. During the blizzard, all employees were expected to come to work, regardless of conditions, and were handed a badge claiming we were "essential/ critical needs employees" so we could drive during the ban. Our jobs were threatened if we didn't risk our lives to get there. Sales were considered "essential employees" so aka they wanted us to still come in and make money for them. Customer service reps and IT were the only ones put up in a hotel down the road.
