Pros

-Flexible Schedule -Incredible co-workers, most other coworkers are like-minded, work-hard play-hard mentality. -Best sales training from experienced managers who push you and get the best from you - best in class job security - best products on the market, almost always have advantage on competition so not always that hard to sell

Cons

-expectations -territories, you can't decide where you are stationed. Some parts of the country will not match with your personality or provide you the sales/commission as better territories -Commission is indirectly capped. No matter how much you sell, they will raise your goal and adjust commission even with promotions. Max is $250k and under

Pros

Most of the employees are nice. The pay and bonus are pretty competitive. Those two are the biggest pros there.

Cons

It’s a Japanese company. Work is life. It’s a great place to make a living if you like that work takes up your life. Everything is fairly strict. You cannot even leave your coat in your chair. Everyone sits never to each other, no cubes. Was not the company I thought it would be.
