If you're into sales and technology

Pros

Fairly flexible hours, potential for growth, everyone can make commission, plenty of incentives and spiffs. Small staff makes it more of a family like feel with managers that care

Cons

Unless you're really into sales keep in mind this is a very numbers driven . While they care about their employees their sales and attach and even how much email addresses you obtain in a day mean more to them. If you're having a bad week or not perfoming well, the stress and pressure may really weigh in on you. Beginning to have a lot more micro management than it used to and they nit pick about they way every little detail is done. They do not have a set way of doing things its a bit frustrating when one day things are done a certain way and the next day you're told its done another. Especially when having to deal with the backlash of irate customers that are constantly being told different information.

Pros

Easy job. If you are the type of person who likes to be helpful and have an interest in computers and technology it's rewarding.

Cons

The real reason I am writing this review is that the management told us that we would get New Year's Day off next year if we wrote a positive review. So dishonest to Glassdoor readers. Lousy pay plan. Your always set up to lose.
