Pros

Benefits are good although you have to wait a year for the 401K. Most of the co-workers are great to work with.

Cons

I have never worked for a company where the Sales Desk managers blatantly lie. They are almost all from up north and CA and have no vestiges of humility or honesty. There was but one decent sales desk manager and I believe he was from NC. They made promises to get experienced people to work there knowing full well it was all a lie. Additionally, the age and gender discrimination is rampant. Us older males have no career path or way to improve. I can't think of any females to get promotions although there were several in my class much better educated and experienced than any of the recent political promotions. If you are a young white male, regardless of intelligence or work ethic or a nice looking young female, this is the place for you. The entry level pay is OK for a new college grad but probably the worst in the industry for experienced wholesalers. If you are not a favorite or if one of the managers doesn't like you, you are dead.

Pros

There are pros and cons while working remote and it was enjoyable. even with the long hours.

Cons

I feel you should ensure employees have the tools to be successful and not ignore the alerts to you.
