Pros

Ability to be as successful as you want to be. Growing quickly. Your day is what you make of it but that leads to very little direction. The training program for new hires was a very enjoyable experience filled with similar people fresh out of school. This was a good transition from my student life to a professional life.

Cons

A lot of coming and going. Relies heavily on college graduates that aren't sure of their career goals yet. Because of that you will see different levels of dedication as your colleagues figure that out for themselves. It's a very young company and that means there are a lot of opportunities as it grows, but you have to be able to handle going out 4-5 times a week and getting into the office the next day.

Pros

This company relies on growth from within, so if they see potential in you, they will help you get to that next level. There is always a huge support system around you at all times.

Cons

The amount of support can quickly turn into micromanaging, and promoting from within is great until you start protecting those who earned their title sheerly through tenure or a 'good ol' boy' system. Also, the pay is abysmal. They pay you the absolute minimum in salary and the rest is based off of commission, so even the best reps can lose everything on a clients whim, going from making almost $200K a year to $30K in the blink of an eye. They say they have protections in place for that but that's only for the people who earn the company millions of dollars for 4 consecutive years. Also, there really is no such time as a work/life balance here. They throw parties to make you think you do, but if you are out on PTO you will still be judged by your KPI's while you were out, and they expect you to pick up the phone, regardless of if you are on vacation or at your grandfathers funeral. "Still gotta keep you numbers up!"
