Pros

Incredible pay for what a person does. There is a lot of freedom

Cons

Incredible pay if you are willing to sell your soul to the devil in the territory sales manager role. There is little if any advancement opportunities. Far too much paperwork with travel 4-5 days a week, and this is not a 40 hour a week job, its a 70 hour a week job.

Pros

No real Pros. Just a paycheck.

Cons

Customer Service Department is being ran by idiots. Two higher ups recently left and the only manager left fired our supervisor who was the best "leader" we had...The amount of paperwork that is completely useless is mind boggling. Zero training and the one department manager left is clueless. The La Mirada Customer Service Dept. is ran with negativity, demoralization and someone like the G.M. or new VP of Ops should step in and actually make this a decent place to work, because right now it is awful. Stay away and find a similarly paying position elsewhere.
