Pros

The people are very friendly and laid back.

Cons

Not a corporate feeling, more a field office. Not a lot of room for growth once in the office. Does not utilize my skills and not enough work to do.

Don't Do It

Pros

The people are great and the gear is great. Discount is good but not what it used to be.

Cons

Terrible pay, no advancement, no vision at the corporate office, no transparency, and no respect. The worst job I've ever had. Corporate doesn't care about it's employees and treats them like numbers instead of people. People wonder constantly how much longer this company will be around and if they keep up this pace, it won't be long.

Pros

Scheduling was flexible. Good employee discount (which is being slowly phased out).

Cons

Low wages and commission. Micromanagement and company culture is becoming toxic.
