Pros

There were some awesome people that worked here, but most are gone now.

Cons

Where do I start, let's see, the department is now run by dumb and dumber. There is complete lack of leadership since the original director left. The latest director was fired for what I can only imagine is a long list of things. It's hard to say what the real goal of this department is. You have one manager that is completely spineless and another that thinks having her team play children's games is good motivation. There is a lot of people from this department recently that have been supposedly "promoted" to inside sales for at most a 10% pay increase, because that is all that's allowed, but this position is really nothing more than an entry level customer service position. This place is truly a dead end and does nothing for your resume.

Pros

Reasonable on work hours and flexibility as long as work gets done. A few good execs still care about the work force which is a bright spot for the few that do, Reasonable autonomy to perform the job without controlled supervision.

Cons

Poor environment with execs far more concerned about their bonuses and profits rather than the workforce which is overall dedicated and hard working. This creates low morale and resonates to customers as well as internally.

Pros

I did receive a paycheck.

Cons

Management was absolutely clueless in leadership and leading by example. Seniority seemed to be more important than knowledge or potential. Most of the management I dealt with was straight up anti military and seemed to have a "short man syndrome" because of their own lack of military experience. Majority of sales managers in this finally have complete list touch of reality and absolute cannot relate to most people in the industry because of their age and incompetency in their ability to build new relationships.
