Pros

There are some really good people at working level.

Cons

Upper management are a joke, from CEO to DOS after recent changed. These people are only focusing on numbers, they don't know how to run teams at all. Micromanagement is the only thing they do, they would call or text you from 6am to 11pm asking you for sales numbers, activities, appointments set on a daily basis, life and work balance is out of the picture. They do not care about empowering staffs when morality is low, or give you any support. If can hit the target this month, the whole upper management will treat you like a king, then next month treat you like trash if you fail the target. Low season is not acceptable in these people's mind. There were at least 6 top performing sales managers left the company last year. If you think you can hit the target constantly êach and every month, this is the job for you.

Pros

The health benefits offered are good.

Cons

There is a lot of favoritism. Management will gossip about mistakes you've made or things they don't like about you rather than having an upfront conversation with you. Management and HR lack transparency. HR is out of touch with the workforce.

Pros

Serving the community, creative freedom, great support staff at the home office

Cons

Upper management have no clue what is really going on in the locations, under staffed, there are no reviews and getting one is like pulling teeth, standards are ridiculous, the CEO is known for being a "tough guy" and the intercompany letters he emails out are very aggressive and self serving.
