Pros

You meet good people. Most of them quickly move on, but there are good people.

Cons

The company is in shambles after years(decades?) of poor quality and misreadingthe market. Hiring minimum wage employees and expecting them to deliver premium service is a pipe dream in both sales and production. Upper level management beats up under paid management to perform miracles while they cut cost and expect every year to be better than the last. Record profits each year dont trickle down and recent restructuring has led most mid-level employees to feel taken advantage of.

Pros

None the training and the job are very stressful

Cons

Hours Technology is out of date carrying an iPad with you can be exhausting and incomfortable phones work writing letters in every day hand written. Cold calling for sales is like a call center you tried and never wanna go back to. I’d avoid this location with your life.
