Pros

Weekly pay and that's about it

Cons

Where to start. If your not a sales person than be ready to be treated like a piece of garbage. There's no chance for advancement here. Sales is the pride and joy of this "company" but a majority of them couldn't tell you what 1+1 equals. This is the most unstable company that I have ever witnessed. Management claims to help you advance but that is far from the truth. Management should change their motto to "we'll constantly bring you down and question your ability" cause that's what they're really good at. Management is never wrong. They're quick to point out when people do something wrong but fail to acknowledge when they've dropped the ball. They want you to go above and beyond for the company but refuse to compensate or acknowledge you when you do.
