Pros

The company offers Great benefits (except for vision), high salaries, high bonus and 401k match. Products are top of the line and I've met some great friends along the way.

Cons

No work life balance, too many calls per day to do effective calls, too many boxes to check (micromanagement), customer change every 2 years deteriorating customer relationships, have to retest for job every 2 years .

Pros

Extremely poor leadership that would continuously say this was the last downsizing and you would face another one in 6-9 months. The pro is once you left you didn't have to deal with the BS anymore!

Cons

The people in the company are smart but they use their intelligence to work the system and stab each other in the back versus just working hard!
