Pros

Great benefits, great office, open door policy with managers.

Cons

Although there is an open door policy with managers your feedback is listened to but not acted upon. When I first started it was great, felt secure in my job daily, made good money, great atmosphere. That steadily changed after they started firing everyone and micromanaging everyone to death. I guess the managers were trying to justify their bloated salaries? I'm not sure what they did outside of bring in donuts on Saturday's anyways. Basically on the retention floor, if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. It's crazy the what reps will do and be rewarded for it, and then others will be fired. Silly job, silly management. Also, when about 25% of the sales floor is out on LOA for "stress" you might have a problem.

Pros

Learned alot with 20+ years with the company, fun place to work, meet great people, Awesome pay.

Cons

Management will throw you under the bus to save themselves, will not stick up for employees, supervisor yelling at team meetings, slamming things around and acting childish. Best micromanager out there.
