Pros

For a publicly-traded company, it actually felt like a tight knit organization with above-average communication. My manager let me run the territory in my vision, no micromanaging at all.

Cons

There is a cap on commission based compensation, so even if you have a great year, it will be capped.

What a mess

Pros

There are interesting problems to solve

Cons

The place is a mess and they seem to choose to put toxic people in positions of authority, and then move them around when they cause problems.
