Pros

There are some good people that work there. Do you want a stepping stone job that looks ok on your resume? Stick it out for a year and get out. They have paid certifications and technology lease program which are actually really good. Take advantage of that.

Cons

In no particular order: CEO is a narcissist that only promotes family, family friends or members of his band to upper management. Horribly mismanaged investments put the company in serious danger years prior and had to be bailed out financially. Highschool bully-esque management that have no right to be anywhere near the workforce, let alone management positions. Lack the understanding of the word "no" when it comes to impossible tasks from customers. Clients literally take them to the cleaners on a regular basis. Upper management doesn't have a clue how the front lines work and function. I know this is a cliche but, honestly, the fact that they have gotten this far is nothing short of dumb luck and dedicated employees. They have run off countless good employees due to poor management decisions. Employee pay is so bad you could either laugh or cry. There are fast food jobs that pay better. Insurance coverage is even worse than the pay. Internal communication is non-existent. "It's not my problem, find someone else". The company value "people matter" is complete crap.

Pros

Good Banter, Pay, commission and perks

Cons

The slimiest company you will ever work for. The company constantly told lies and manipulated clients to get them to come to interviews. Upon finding out the roles the client is interested in we would say we offered those roles and the ones we are recruiting for. This would give us an opportunity to sell our roles at an interview. At the interview went as far to fake conversations round the corner, so the client was under the illusion we recruited for the positions we didn't have. We then made out the other roles to be far less profitable and inflated the salary of the roles we did have by up to 80% (because they were commission based). We also often told our clients they weren’t suitable for the other roles because they had to be more qualified etc. In other words we conned our clients into coming for an interview by offering their 'dream job' then knocked it down and sold the roles we did have by lying about salaries. We also used scare tactics encase they didn't turn up to future interviews by saying 'it's a small world and everybody talks'.
