Pros

- Can make good money if you hit quota - Senior Management team has a plan (CEO)

Cons

Middle management is a joke. ——- was my manager and constantly bullied and harassed his team memberss. They demoted him and moved him but still can’t build the case to fire him. Left for a different division and the manager was better but still the most toxic office environment I have ever been in. If you don’t have a college degree and bully people, you shouldn’t be a manager. Plain and simple. Left the company 10x happier.
