Pros

Some great people to work with. Benefits package was great. My salary was really good. My commute was excellent

Cons

The people they put in management positions were micro managers, they were disrespectful and downright mean. The work had grown but they didn't increase the staff to do the work and got mad at all of the employees for not being able to keep up. HR was non existent. And when you went to the VP she pretended to care but she really didn't. There's very much a feeling of "be happy you have a job now go do it" in that office. I have to say I'm very happy to be out of there!

Pros

Some nice people work for the company.

Cons

Bad training, they tell you that there is a 2 year plan with opportunity to make money and advance then they change there mind with in a couple of months and it's all gloom and doom. They tell you that you will get a mentor and it never happens. They put you through 4 months of training and count those 4 months agents you for not making sales. They have a computer program called Nexgen that is a joke it never works and is super confusing.They don't give you a car allowance or very little for a car allowance. They claim to have high ethics and safety but their full of it it's all talk. Middle management has no back bone they are out to CYA and will not back you. Really think twice before going to work for these clowns as a sales person they put tons of obstacles in the way of making sales.
