Pros

Great pay (for seasoned people), early release on Fridays, free beer on the 5th floor on Fridays. Free Chic- Fil- a breakfast on Fridays. Great location in Uptown Dallas. It's an easy business to sale, there's always growth and expansion for territories.

Cons

If you're new to the company the pay is very bad, if you're a high performer leadership will promise a raises that never comes. Some people have quit and returned to gain a pay raise. They offer 1 WFH day a week, very prejudice atmosphere. Very strict environment when upper leadership is in town. Only 3 weeks of PTO are offered, unpaid time off is non existent. Employees were forced promotions that they did not want to take, then they would fail or not perform as well in those positions. No real career progression unless you move to Knoxville, TN where the company is based.

Pros

Pay is decent for Knoxville Benefits are good Coworkers are the only thing holding this place together

Cons

The culture has taken a nosedive. The new CFO sets the tone, and that tone is basically “I don’t care.” That attitude trickles down through leadership and it shows in every decision being made. The return‑to‑office mandate is a perfect example. It’s not about productivity — it’s about control. People with long commutes are burning hours of their lives just to sit in the office on Zoom calls they used to take from home. Morale is the lowest it has ever been. Entire teams have been gutted because people are quitting faster than they can be replaced. The workload dumped on whoever stays is unsustainable. Communication from leadership is cold, dismissive, and out of touch. Feedback goes nowhere. Concerns are brushed off. Decisions are made with zero regard for how they impact employees. Constant reorganizations create chaos. Roles change overnight, expectations shift constantly, and employees are expected to absorb more and more with no support. The company used to feel people‑focused. Now it feels like a machine that’s grinding down the very people who keep it running.
