Pros

- Good job satisfaction - Good pay and the more you hustle the more you can make - Very little bureaucracy. Not your typical corporate soul sucking environment. - CEO is top notch. No nonsense but very fair. His business skills and intuition are on point. - Independent. As long as you're doing good work they are pretty hands off - Large company but it feels small and everyone works well together for the most part. - HR is great to work with, in fact all of corporate is usually pretty helpful and good to work with. - Lots of sales jobs work from home (can be a con though) - Excellent training program

Cons

Not really a con, but with that independence comes a lot of responsibility. You have to be a self starter and if you're lazy, you won't last long. Sometimes people do well in training but when they're out on their own their cracks shine through. It's a demanding job. Long hours and if you work from home it can be hard to get away from work. Not much vacation or personal time and it takes a while to accumulate it. Some regions like to compete with each other but corporate does help keep that in check. At the end if the day it's all about taking care of the customer.

Pros

Almost no Pros for this position, if you are just looking for a manufacturing role this seems like an alright company that at least tries to care about you. The free lunches are usually pretty good too.

Cons

Bad pay, very strict time schedules, and ZERO engineering experience expected to be gained from this role. You are treated as a full time manufacturing associate. This entire company does not know how to utilize talent accordingly, engineers are doing menial tasks and you are doing NOTHING. Every promotion or managerial position seems to be decided entirely on if you are related to someone higher up in the company or if you are buddy buddy with a manager.
