Pros

Benefits are fantastic. Many opportunities for growth

Cons

management is constantly changing and has unreasonable expectations for trains etc. Scheduled 24 hours of mandatory training with 3 weeks to complete, at the beginning of August. In Higher Ed, this is the busiest month of the year by far. Expects all employees to upsell to clients.
