Pros

Good comp, but comp structure is not explained properly. Benefits are fair, but are very costly to the sales team.

Cons

Talk a big game about supporting the sales force and puts together a front of training, but at the end of the day, any issues are not dealt with and are just brushed aside as being part of the industry.
