Pros

Pros: •Great Coworkers •Decent Benefits (CompTIA compensation, school reimbursement, co-pay on dental, medical, health insurance.) •Pay (also a con)

Cons

Cons: •Zero Flexibility (no part-time even though management offered that we were able to do that once school began) •Awful On-boarding process •Management expectations are unrealistic and their values contradict each other •Pay (because it is a commission based structure pay is based on how efficient you manage your time) •PTO is only useable after 6 months along with most benefits •Forced to meet a variety of quotas such as selling security solutions. (You will be coached about it if you don’t meet minimum requirements) •Constant petty backlash from managers through emails •HR? (not very helpful)
