Pros

Variety of jobs/duties. Upper management good. Some jobs allow flexible scheduling. Lots of movement. Coworkers nice and professional. Facilities clean and room for breaks.

Cons

Some middle management is short sided and difficult to approach. Seem offended at the idea of improving or enhancing efficiency.

Pros

Most of the people you work with are good individuals. You can earn some great income with hard work.

Cons

The amount of favoritism in the company was significant to any other company I have worked for. The way to advance in the company is to win over as many people as you can your performance has little to do with it. Work and life balance is horrible in the sales role you end up putting in at least an additional 10-15 hours a week to do well. Incapable sales managers who know very little and end up losing commissions for you.

Although not pushy, still sales based, thus requires pressure from corporate>management>sales team
