It is painted as a flexible, work from home job. Most of my time was spent driving with pennies for reimbursement. Training was awful. I was left to the wolves. I felt unsafe in some environments. The bottom line was always meeting quota. Who cares if you have PTO? Meet those point requirements! Your kid is sick? Figure it out. Oh, and there are people who definitely work from home with their kids, but if you're not a favorite, you will be hearing from HR about it.
The peers that you work with are pretty exceptional; they are always willing to step in and lend a hand or listening ear. The bonus program is pretty decent and better than most in the area.
Cons
The leaderships focus is not and will not be on their employees. It is about making sure you are making your monthly quota; the family can say anything negative about you and you are immediately blamed, but behind the families backs comments are made about them. They were a company that stood for work-life balance and strong mental health awareness. Now they let their employees know that they will be there for the families and the business. They WILL NOT have your back. And it has consistently gotten worse in the past 6 or so months.
