Business Outlook

Pros

Not that many other than unlimited PTO and 401K matching at 8%.

Cons

Bad management. Boys club- no one really seems to like women being around and are often dismissive. Bad commission plan/structure. They actually make it harder to make your commission by tripling your required numbers every year. Commission is not based off of sales dollars, but a percent of a percent of a percent of your mark up per sale. It's the most unfair and strangest system I have ever seen. Lot's of unhappy employees.
