Pros

Able to move into positions laterally/growth. Promote from within. Cash based company so very stable employment. Company has good reputation.

Cons

Micromanagement results in demotivated professionals. Management decisions regardless of input from people who are closest to the issues. Lack of trust in the workplace. Leadership by emotion instead of by facts.

Pros

Work day freedom. Status of position. Professional atmosphere. Lots of free lunches.

Cons

Pay sucks. It's not what they promise in interview. Expect $20,000 average in commission plus salary. There are some that make a lot more. Potential is there if you are in a unique area and have phenomenal internal referring partners. Most areas are saturated and most partners are selfish and never do top down selling to refer you into a sale.
