Pros

Great Corporate America BS experience

Cons

The juice is not worth the squeeze. The benefits are overrated. Management puts on a good facade and will serve you the Kool-Aid to no end. They do not care about ethics or employees and are only focused on revenue and stock price. This review doesn't allow me to select negative stars or I would.

Pros

Leader in the space with a highly recognizable name. Commission structure is very favorable if you can exceed your targets. Low penetration in the market means there is alot of opportunity. The company promotes from within so there is opportunity for advancement.

Cons

Dis-functional management team that isn't aligned to a common goal makes achieving sales targets a significant challenge. Too many acquisitions that were poorly integrated have stunted growth and the company seems to be more comfortable operating as an insurance company than a SaaS based services company.
