Pros

Great people. Food provided 2 X per week. Snacks (cookies, chips .. very limited options tho) + sodas (daily).

Cons

There’s a lot of micromanagement, everything you do is monitored and questioned. Unnecessary stress from all levels, people running around with worried faces all the time. Old and manual processes. Every month there’s a new price list (in Excel????). It’s not a consultative sale, like selling on the real value of the products and how is that gonna impact positively the customer. Here si all about negotiating who lose the less discounting like crazy. Pretty much is just begging the customer’s money. Very impersonal, just a transaction.

Pros

Cleared 100k in nine-ish months.

Cons

Poorly run, from the top down- poor long term outlook, hindered by CEO. Subscribe to the, "if you're not tied to your desk, you're not being productive" mindset. Dead end job, ultimately. Employee turnover speaks for itself. Merely a springboard and a shaky one at that.
