Pros

There is really nothing good about this company

Cons

After 16 years and bringing on 100 companies and managing this whole time, I experienced a personal tragedy with my daughter getting bone cancer. Elaine Kelly came to visit the Denver office. I had shaved my head because my young daughter had lost her hair. She came right up to me and said I will not have my managers with shaved head and I don't care if your daughter has cancer or not. You are the one with cancer. Well after 16 years need less to say I have a sense of pride and a comment like this coming from the CEO which many other employees heard left us all speechless. I was comforted by the other employees and they all wanted to quite immediately. She has some balls and will go after anyone. Praise the Lord she does not have kids.

Pros

Its a place to work, you get a paycheck. I am in outside sales, they dont micro manage. Your free to run your territory with limited supervision.

Cons

The training is terrible. It is long and drawn out and sooooo boring. The company is boring, there is no excitment, nobody seems happy to be working there its like there all drones. I was in sales, so if your looking for a happy, lively, exciting, motivational and enthusiastic place to work....this is not it. Things move very slowly, decisions have to be made by the CEO, she has to have the last word on everything. She has hired management but it appears she has no confidence in them because NONE of them can make a decision without her approval. So things pile up and sit on her desk and months go buy and your frustration level builds because you need an answer so you ask your manager and the answer is "we are waiting on Elaine"

Pros

I received a better job and only had to endure it for two weeks.

Cons

After going through 2 months of interviewing, I was finally offered a position $2.00 less an hour than originally discussed (1st interview out of 3). When I professionally asked if the salary was negotiable I was scolded like a child and was told "you were told the salary would be xyz!!!" So I'm a liar? I write everything down...Strike 1. Since I recently moved to Denver I needed a job so I reluctantly accepted. I was told I would start a week later, next day I interviewed with another company. 1st day, I found out only 4 people work in the office, no supervisor, no IT. When I interviewed in the office, it was set up to look like more people worked in the office. One is a mailroom clerk and 1 is part time. I was given a payroll book and was told to read it...so for 8 hours I read it. I've done payroll so this was by far a waste. As the day progressed, I noticed two of the workers basically were killing themselves getting stuff done, while the part time person left for 2 hours and the phone rings to everyone! Next day, I was advised for the next two weeks I would be in the mailroom since the mail clerk decided to take vacation. However, you are the mailroom for 5 offices not just 1. So for the first week I did the mail, and the machines kept breaking down. I asked if there was someone we could call for service, no the mail clerk does it. So me and the other two people (the part time person was sick, and also on vacation) licked and stuffed over 200 paychecks a day (it was quarter end so yes let people take time off). I ended up working overtime and when I submitted my timesheet I received a page email, telling me this was unacceptable . Again, I was told by my coworker/trainer to do it. It was 4 hours.. I will spare the details but I had a family emergency and the company actually called to make sure I was telling the truth. ..that was the final straw, I was offered another job and I would have accepted it no matter the salary. Btw..my "supervisor" who was in another state didn't call or email me once to welcome me..nice. And the location...what a dump
