      New standards in incompetence

      Complaints investigator

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      My hours were only 9am-5pm with an hour lunch break; that is honestly the only positive thing that I can think of from my whole time there

      Cons

      - No-one in management seems to have any idea of what work is actually carried out, not a single one could perform the duties of anyone below them. They are so far disconnected from the day-to-day operations of the company that they have zero insight as to what is going on - Guidelines and processes change on a near-constant basis with no-one being notified - no-one was ever sure of what the correct procedures for any tasks were - Absolutely zero prospects for career progression - Incredibly poor pay and bonus structure. Contractors will be paid up to five times more than you for doing the same work (typically to a far poorer standard)

      Don't work here

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Misery loves company, so if you want to work here you will probably make friends because everyone is so miserable that they ban together against upper management.

      Cons

      Worst and most negative environment I've worked in, and I had been in a commission only position prior. The mircromanagement is out of control and training is a joke. They hire previously trained sales professionals and then ruin their spirit by running them into the ground. They will find a reason to fire you if they do not like you personally. I've seen this happen 3 times. When I gave my notice I was in the top 20% of the district and no one said a word. They only care about sales numbers and have forgotten how to treat people. Any platform position in the branch is no better than working at the mall. The right hand and left don't speak so as an employee you can't even solve the issues at hand. And believe me there are countless issues in management not to mention the actual system issues which prohibits you from doing your job.
