Pros

Agile and quick to pull triggers on business decisions, growth-oriented, creating shareholder value. The company has been in growth mode since the beginning and has been growing 25% a year for the last 6 and it is not slowing down.

Cons

Supporting functions (non-sales / operations) do not get the recognition. Inconsistencies in treating employees, regardless of whether they are performing or not. Favoritism is carried out in certain department.

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
