Pros

There are no pro's about working there.

Cons

Upper management is dysfunctional. There is no clear communication and the performance expectations change constantly. You have to work 7 days/week to make your goals and upper leadership make the rules as they go. There is no work life balance the corporate culture is toxic and unhealthy. They do not people first and promotions are based on popularity and not merit.

Pros

Good peer group of women on the team. Mileage reimbursement is provided.

Cons

Extremely high sales quotas that are difficult to consistently achieve, paired with limited compensation upside even when goals are met. The organization feels top-heavy, with too many layers of management relative to the field team, which creates inefficiencies and slows decision-making. Management style can feel overly micromanaged and at times more focused on process and tone than actual business growth or performance metrics. There is limited perceived career growth, and compensation does not scale meaningfully with experience or performance. Overall morale among the sales team is low, and employee concerns around workload, pay, and structure do not always feel addressed in a meaningful way.
