Pros

Once a great company to work for. Now a pathetic shell of its former self. There are truly no Pros that can outweigh the Con of working for a company that is going out of business.

Cons

The company is failing. The hibu digital and print products are failing. The finance receivables department is like a morgue. Positions are continuously being eliminated or outsourced overseas. Everyone is terrified of losing their job. Most of the employees with tenure are only staying with the hopes of receiving a severance package.

Pros

1) you will meet great people that you will work with everyday. I have been here for over five years and I have made some great friends. 2) it's a sales job so you will be given enough rope, for people with no experience it can be detrimental because of lack of management support. 3)print is ironically still viable in some markets with good call counts. 4) AM's can do very well, but those positions aren't hired anymore.

Cons

Where to begin... 1) There is no clear message on what the big plan is. Every week it tends to change. 2) With the bank owning the company you don't know if your job is secure- big push for websites, makes me believe we might be sold to the highest bidder. 3) You are just a number- it's a sales job.( not a negative, but a fact). They make this very clear to you. 4)There is no care of quality of a sale, they just want you to sell anything to anyone- in many cases not what's good for the customer. 5) HORRIBLE CLIENT SUPPORT- customer service is a nightmare. 6)Extremely high turn over. highest I have seen in my 21 year profesional career. The new business model makes it impossible for these new hires to succeed. Bonus's for these new hires are non existent in many cases. 7) After training I received zero support. My first email was, " I'm sure you have family or friends who own a business; go sell them today"

Nothing is consistent. Changing constantly and causing upset with customers. Bad communication internally. Stressful to meet impossible quotas.
