Pros

Great place to work. Money is terrific, managers are so flexible with you and your outside-work needs. Good benefits. Great people who care about you as a person (everyone is slammed 24/7 though which leads to the cons...)

Cons

Work is demanding. Training is pretty much D.I.Y. Once you get full up and running your outside salesman might take some liberties and throw you to the wolves with lack of responsiveness and unavailability. I would still be here if some of those concerns seemed to be addressed. I could be wrong and they did address this with the outside salesman, but nothing seemed to change on my end and the stress mounted pretty heavily.
