Pros

Great coworkers but it's so hard because it's such a revolving door that people are there one day gone the next.

Cons

They train you for 4 days and then have you go out and sell your family and friends with really no experience in what your doing. They sell you on owning your own business then micro manage you and your time, there is no base salary but want you there 6 days a week in the office. Many hidden charges in paycheck never is what you think it will be.

Good pay and good benefits. There is a lot of private space to meet with others and take calls.

Cons

Insular culture and they don't know what they don't know.

Pros

Big company with good benefits. Very structured. Some educational opportunities. Good vacation time (when allowed to take it)

Cons

Evaluations are too subjective and are up to the mood of the reviewing manager. Management likes to manage by terror i.e. they constantly browbeat you so that you are not of the "bottom 10%" that they fire each year. You can be in that 10% just by virtue of how your manager feels on review day. Promotions are difficult to get. Work in a bad neighborhood and you are locked in by a high fence.
