Pros

Overall is a good place to work. Well run company.

Cons

Would rather spend money on fringe benefits that they could talk up and show people how great they were at treating employees well, rather than paying them well.

Pros

I can’t think of any other than I made a few good friends while working here

Cons

Virtually everything. Long hours if you want to even have a chance of making any money. They constantly move the goal posts in their favor regarding commission and squeezing money from you. I was hired right when the company sold and everything changed and was different based on what it’d been told when hired. If you have a family you can forget having anytime with them. Zero flexibility in schedule. Archaic management styles. Benefits are below average if you opt in. There are required non paid meetings every week. They neglected to tell me this after I started. Culture can be pretty sleazy and people will try to push you and steal customers. Management philosophy is to do nothing and let you figure it out.
