Pros

Work life balance is great. Don't know many people that work over 40 hours a week. If you get your work done and hit your numbers, people generally don't ask questions.

Cons

Sometimes the inviting spirit of college can get to be a bit much. Yea, going out and drinking with your co-workers is good in moderation, but sometimes everything turns into a drunken frat party that hte company picks up the tab on. Maybe throw an additional 1k to everyone rather that a happy hour every week?

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!"
