Pros

There are no pros for working here.

Cons

You are expected to sell products, but management will not disclose price points to sell things for. Computers are bugged with productivity software, which management uses against you on a whim. Products are cheap Chinese knockoffs of legit products and companies. Many products do not have specs listed, which puts you in a tough situation when a customer calls you out on it. Too much misinformation.

Pros

Very collaborative team. Dynamic industry, so never a dull moment. Plenty of opportunity to grow, both as a company and also as an individual.

Cons

The only con I can think of is that I didn't start working here sooner!

Pros

Sometimes the owner decides not to come in to the office.

Cons

Expected to answer the phone at all times - even when using the restroom. Expected to work long hours and overtime - for no additional pay when the owner decides it's crunch time on a project that has literally no hard deadline. (Such as updating the website, or finishing a catalog, or having a random sidewalk sale.) Priorities change daily and it makes it impossible to get things done. Your list of tasks just grows constantly. Eventually, the owner will ask why something isn't done, and it's because it was made low priority months before and other tasks trumped it. Owner can't take constructive criticism. Good ideas get shut down. If you do end up working here, it's better to just do something without asking permission and show the results later. Management can't decide if SARIN is corporate, a warehouse, or a retail location - and tries to run it like all three. This leads to a lot of confusion in how to price things, how to stock things, and how to handle customers.
