Pros

Great personalities, strong sales talent, relaxed atmosphere at the office

Cons

Management is horrible. Never seen operations so inefficient and unwilling to take care of the customer. Everyone is always frustrated that they can't get the help they need. Management always making things too complicated and throwing people under the bus for anything under the sun. Unrealistic expectations, no desire to take care of the customers. It takes them 2 weeks to make a five minute decision.

Pros

Some locations have a great culture. Relaxed dress code. Decent sick and vacation policies. Advancement is possible.

Cons

Limited bonus potential and some locations are not team players. To advance, you must be willing to transfer to the corporate office. Pay seems lower than competitors. As with most large companies, innovation can be slow.
