Pros

Its a job if you need one.

Cons

Very unprofessional & dysfunctional work environment. Company under pays and over works. I spent 11 months in the management training program and was never promoted. Company long on promises and short on delivery. Company is sales oriented and does nothing to develop staff. Staff is highly stressed to multi task and perform other employees jobs. Location I worked in actually had 2 people quit during working hours it was so bad.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
