As a college student interviewing with CED I was told "this is the best company you've never heard of." As a current employee of CED's with more than 10 years experience I could not agree more. If you are a driven, ambitious person with the will to succeed this a great place to come work. CED let's their people make the decisions that drive success or failure at each location individually. The autonomous decision making authority CED allows me to have to decide what makes my business most successful is the best part of my job. The compensation structure rewards those that work hard and make a positive impact on the business.
Cons
If you need someone to tell you what to do each day, CED would not be a great fit in a sales or leadership position.

Very nice coworkers and you get to travel a good amount in your first year. Guided training process wasn’t bad
Cons
Low pay and long hours. The contract they’ll have you sign in misleading on salary. You’re basically going to be a hourly employee your first 2/3 years and more likely than not are not going to be making the amount on the contract unless you do a lot of overtime. There is a lot of corporate pressure on being able to move wherever they tell you to also. My best advice is to look at what your local managers lives are like and consider if they’re happy or not. You have to have a certain amount of being a loner in you to be ok with their outlandish moving expectations.
