Pros

Pros are that you can leave... Management might lead you to believe that if you go anywhere else your either a failure or you couldn't hack it but the truth is that most people that leave earn more money else where and are happier with there new position.

Cons

Number one issue is the KBT- a change is needed here and everyone from the board to the sales floor knows it. There are ton's of other problem in this place but the only advise is that you should not work here if you value you sanity in anyway. All the rumours are true this place a revolving door of sales people brought in for the slaughter.
