      Great job

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great management, good work life balance. Good pay. And flexible work from home opportunities.

      Cons

      Only thing they can improve on is insuring top performers get consistently paid for their performances, the bonus structure sometimes awards people who did not actually have the best sales numbers
