Pros

Decent pay, made great friends, looks AWESOME on your resume if you can stay for any length of time & can open lots of doors, phenomenal sales training

Cons

Let me say first of all, when I first started there I LOVED my job (RV only occupied 1 1/2 floors of one building at that time) THEN they got too big for their britches after they went super corporate, and instead of it being like a family there, everyone just became a number and it became HELL. I hated it and it was no longer worth any amount of money. CAN LEAD TO ALCOHOLISM/SUBSTANCE ABUSE to deal with the constant stress/abusive work environment; literally had emotional breakdowns; you have to "get permission" to go to the bathroom, take a break, etc, if you are literal SECONDS late, it counts as a tardy and three tardy's = termination; if you say certain words incorrectly (or don't say them) you can be terminated if you miss your sales targets by mere .01 percentage points it can cost you hundreds to thousands of dollars in commissions (even if it's not your fault ie. wrong numbers, dropped calls, etc)... I could go on and on but.

Pros

Strong ownership, opportunity to manage people early, great people, nice campus. You will work on interesting problems and external companies. Great training if the space interests you.

Cons

Business future is uncertain, up or out management principles. New senior leaders somewhat disconnected from the day-to-day. Commute from Charlotte is horrible.
