Pros

Good employee benefits and that's about it

Cons

Micromanaging At its best Lack of respect Constant schedule changes with meeting and office time some at the last minute all with the expectation that you'll be there No camaraderie Management often uses bullying to get the message across Commission pay is awful. You work too hard for what you get paid No follow through with what management promises they will do It's considered outside sale however half of your week is spent in the office so that they can watch what you're doing. Constantly over your shoulder inspecting your hour,day,week,month

Pros

People and the overall environment is a positive one. If you do your part, definite long term career potential. It’s not easy- but stable, growing. Worth serious consideration for early career looking for sales experience with a great training program. Also good for mid-career consideration if base salary isn’t the primary reason you are in sales.

Cons

Very fast pace that doesn’t suit everyone. If you are looking for easy or just a job to “hang out”, this probably isn’t the right spot for you.

Pros

Remote work and Flexible Time Off

Cons

Low pay. Minimal to no career growth. Constant leadership turnover. Conflicting priorities from the top with little strategic direction. Endless “do more with less” mentality and burnout. Mandatory culture and positivity “training” instead of fixing the problems creating poor culture. The company has become reactive, chaotic, and disconnected from the employees who keep it running. Current CEO drove down stock price and eradicated worker morale. Terrible leadership.
