Some autonomy about your day to day. You do get to drive a company car during the day so you don't tear up your own.

Cons

Pay sux unreliable PT'er leaves me working later and later all the time unbelieveable sales goals. Too much work for not enough pay Take it or leave it brainwashed middle mgmt.

Pros

I wish if there were anything worth mentioning.

Cons

My contract was changed three times in the span of three months. This is the most disorganized company I have ever worked for. As an employee, you are the least of their concerns expect to be asked to stay late, come in early, and take on tasks outside your job description. Due to chronic understaffing, you're pressured into doing extra work, and if you refuse, they will find a way to let you go.
