Pros

It is possible to make okay money. You may meet some cool people working there.

Cons

They do not value their long term employees. When money needs to be cut, they look first to who has been there the longest and lay them off with no warning. For sales people, watch your paychecks. They will try to stiff you by saying the company gets 90 days to pay and "it could come any time" so it may not show up in your check. Super sketchy. They are not good with work-life balance and do not give the benefit of doubt to people in need of time for grief, or otherwise, even unpaid, and even if you've proven your worth over time. If you do need something to improve your skills on the floor, they will string you along until you're so stressed out you quit. I saw it happen tons of times when I was there. They fired two of the best salespeople I've known for some innocuous reasons that could not be explained to the rest of us. If you're a woman, don't even bother. They won't give you the time of day, and you will work three times harder than any man to succeed there, since all the customer service reps feed the "bros" big sales before they even hit the boards. if you try to advance, you will be overlooked for an alpha male. Stay late and find your own book of business, only to have your own coworkers try to steal your work. And that's allowed, and even encouraged, to "keep it competitive." Again- what's good for Strive but not the employee wins. Man or woman, don't work here unless you're looking to use them as much as they use you. This is the epitome of a no-strings-attached relationship - don't misunderstand that.

Pros

Young company average age around 27, with plenty of recent graduates. Good place to start entry level out of college to make friends. They have many happy hours, and encourage drinking in/out of office. There are some good managers that care for the growth of their employees.

Cons

There is no set strategy for company or career growth. They do not promote the proper people, and getting a raise is extremely difficult. Turnover is extremely high in an industry that is not too interesting to most, and must do a better job in retaining the talent that they already have. When they do hire, it is usually for quantity and not quality. Many of the top employees have left in search of better jobs due to lack of incentives. No 401k matching yet either. Good place to start your career and make friends ], but would not advise to stay here long term. Extremely hard to get answers and action from management in a company this size.
