Pros

Plenty of openings and overtime available, 3 breaks throughout the day, occasional food offered to employees, water coolers available almost everywhere

Cons

Long work hours, changes just happen and you're expected to accommodate, and speaking of accommodation this place is not very much so. Expected to work 2-3 hours extra of mandatory overtime with no complaints

Pros

The staffing is small at most locations so it's easy to communicate but it also causes a lot of competition between sales reps when the others always know everything you're doing.

Cons

They use an outdated system that's tedious to navigate. There's no easy way to fix mistakes causing tasks to take hours (depending on the error, you have to reach out to I.T. and that can take up to an hour).
