Pros

lateral movement is acceptable- if you want to try new positions it's easy to move around. You truly can work as little or as much as you want to.

Cons

management does not promote individual achievement. Employer/employee relations at times inappropriate. Very much a 'good ol boys' network

Pros

in this horrible economic situation, it was a place to pull a paycheck free food stuff in the hallways, as long as you listen to vendors tell you why their product is best hours were great, cant be beat co-workers are awesome!

Cons

favoritism of management towards certain woman employees. (wont go any further into that) the fact that after i was hired they hired groups of 20 or more people every month (extremely high turn-over and expected turn-over) management staff will de-rail any attempts at a promotion if you're not 'with the program' after leaving you can't put the place on your resume because companies will see you worked for one of the 'annoyances' that call them every day and ignore you.or blacklist you. upper management and HR dont care about their staff but would rather quietly sweep them under a rug.

Pros

- Free food and sweets almost every morning from Vendors - Good training program and almost daily product and brand trainings from Vendors and specialists - If you hang out long enough, you'll be given accounts, Zones has a huge turnover rate and as long as you wait it out, you don't even have to find accounts.

Cons

- Terrible base pay, they lie to you on how long its going to take to "ramp up" on the sales floor and start making decent commissions, so you're stuck at a low pay grade. In reality, it will take almost 2 years to make any margin on sales consistently. - Incompetent management and sloppy workers, no money invested in improving working conditions for the building or employees. IT sales company, and yet they operate on the slowest, most problematic computers I've ever worked with. Easily 5 years behind trends in the IT industry and what would be considered standard. - Too much focus on "metrics" and not enough on potential of employees
