Pros

Some nice co-workers, nice physical plant, snacks, etc. You actually get pretty good feeling about the place during the interviews and when you first go in.

Cons

Not only does the management has no respect for the employees, they seem to be proud of it. It's like the sales staff are a bunch of animals in a zoo, for the management's entertainment. The self-worshiping punks in management were so drunk with their idiotic little small-time power trips, I could have EASILY sold TWICE as much as I did if it weren't for them. Instead, I sat there and pissed off customer after customer after customer and never heard from them again. If you need to take a couple of hours off to see a doctor because you're sick, or a dentist because you have a toothache, they make you feel like a criminal; it doesn't matter if you have the Leave to take. They want you to work during lunch, work on holidays or weekends, and take a load of work home every night. You have NO life. You get together with some co-workers after work, and all everybody talks about is how they hate their jobs and how stupid the management is, especially the CEO. He is a laughingstock, an absolute idiot.
