Pros

Training program is great. You will learn things at 84 that can jumpstart your career in another field.

Cons

I’m writing this review for the 2nd time since 84 likes to delete negative reviews instead of taking action! You will work long hours at minimum 48hrs a week The company is Not diverse at all. They rarely hire minorities as managers and have discriminative policies in place that stops the promotion of minorities. If you don't make Quota you won't make decent money. The Quota system your bonuses are based on penalizes you for previous year achievements.

Pros

You have a job, that is about it.

Cons

Will provide zero training, zero expectations explained, extremely disorganized middle management who have the communication skills of a rock. They will tell you what they think you want to hear to keep you instead of actually working together.
