Pros

You felt like you were connecting with customers who were surviving cancer. You got to work with highly motivated sales reps across the country.

Cons

The first time I’ve ever been discriminated against was at this job. Female manager treated the men HORRIBLY and she had no experience as a leader. Worst training by two 20 something year olds who insisted on being rude and their only experience was in fast food or retail. Very political. Very gross environment. Favoritism was shown on a constant basis. When complaints were sent to HR, nothing was done and I was told that there was nowhere else to go or move in the company. No growth. Final straw was not allowing me to work from home while everyone on the team was doing it on a constant basis. Worst job ever.
