Pros

I loved a lot of the people I worked with and when sales are good...things are amazing. The money, when I first started, was amazing.

Cons

Unfortunately, they would rather be a boiler room than a successful marketing company. They have a tendancy to come up with new product ideas and launch it with no research. Their billing department is a mess. Their turnover rate is unbelieveable. Money is the bottom line. It does not matter how long you have been there, they will fire you with no notice. The benefits are horrible as well. The commission structure was amazing, then they tried to make it more "new hire" friendly, then they basically paid out the same on every sale no matter how high. Tends to fire all of the employees that are loysl to them

Just Don't

Pros

Everything imaginable will be thrown at you. Some of your co-workers will transfer cases to you if they don't know how to work them, hoping you won't notice. Others will report your failures about things they themselves cannot even fix. Narcissism is encouraged and applauded. It is a comedy of errors. This is a great place to learn a lot, and then leave. Don't be convinced to stay, as this will suck your soul dry. Consider it a blessing if you get fired or laid off, because this is no place to be. Wait, is this the Pros section?

Cons

Giant con. The company literally has the IT Team "Assume" the other locations and lays off everyone else, so you will likely end up without a job. Bitter much...maybe.....
