Pros

travel, trade shows, flexible hours; co-workers were fun

Cons

Home office has no idea what's going on satellite offices; DO NOT go to HR for anything (even if you hear manager say he's going to go home and "smoke a bowl" in his garage). You will be flagged, terminated or downsized as a "problem employee," even if you're working in a hostile environment where management constantly badmouths other employees AND his/her hierarchy; expensive insurance for families; top-heavy management while worker bees (especially sales) don't get paid on time or get raises; running too lean while staff is over-worked in preparation to sell company; painful work culture where everyone walks on eggshells waiting to be let go

Pros

Supportive culture as long as you are willing to work hard but if you’re just looking for a paycheck, this is not the place for you. Great benefits. Incredible work office. Nice travel

Cons

Company is growing so fast that they have trouble hiring enough good people fast enough to keep up with the workload
