Pros

Great benefits (health, dental, 401k match, PTO) A few solid coworkers paid holidays Occasionally free lunch or snacks

Cons

Micromanagement is next-level — every second and call is watched They market the position as hybrid/flexible, but you’re in the office 5 days a week Leadership clearly wants older or long-time employees out to replace them with cheaper hires New hires are set up to fail with insane goals and zero ramp time Constant pressure, unrealistic expectations, and zero support Toxic culture with high turnover and no accountability at the top

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
