Business Outlook

Pros

They provided health insurance and 401K contribution

Cons

Very low additional pay for Sales Manager role. COMMISSION only job. Some months I made $14.00, other months I made $8000.00. I was Salesperson on the month many times and still never broke $50K year. LONG HOURS. Many people there work 12 hour days, just to get their sales numbers enough to avoid being fired. Upper management is "Old Boy" mentality.

Pros

Pay is somewhat decent, which helps offset some of the challenges, but it doesn’t fully make up for the growing strain on work–life balance.

Cons

Leadership tends to be distant, with limited transparency around decisions. Managers often micromanage day‑to‑day tasks, leaving little room for autonomy or creativity. Priorities shift without warning, and feedback isn’t always welcomed, which makes it hard to feel heard. The environment can feel disorganized, and long‑term planning is inconsistent at best. Work‑life balance opportunities has decreased over time, and policies that once supported a healthier balance are being scaled back or eliminated.
