Pros

The pay, benefits and the products

Cons

If you’re an assistant and it’s completely short staff which is all the time they overbook there clients to the point you barely get a lunch break and overwhelmed all day , you barely get a life outside of work, the place is very unorganized, and there’s barely any hands on training. This company only cares about money and not there employees, the turnover with them is insane and you will get very burnt out fast!
