Pros

A Very Exciting Staff. Very Professional Atmosphere and Highly Motivated workforce. A lot of potential for earnings. Training is very good along with hands on training for new individuals wanting to be set up for success.

Cons

Low Base pay for Experienced professionals. Mistakes always made on deals and commissions. Always excuses from management and a song and dance given to appease you . Senior or experienced sales representatives should not be (Micro- Managed). IPad or Kindle given but (Tracks your every move). Management likes to find ways to intimidate all sales team. Meetings are way to long and you have to pay a garage fee of $6 to $10 each time you go ( 4 times a week at least) no reimbursement for this and your fuel.

Pros

Our team is genuinely one of the company’s greatest strengths. People consistently show up for each other, whether someone has a question, needs guidance, or just needs a second set of eyes. There’s a real sense of kindness and collaboration here — everyone jumps in without hesitation, and it creates an environment where you feel supported, valued, and able to do your best work.

Cons

One of the biggest challenges is the lack of formal training when you start, which makes it difficult to feel fully prepared in your role. Management is often busy and not always available when questions come up, so getting timely guidance can be inconsistent. Processes and directions also tend to shift quickly — announcements are made, and then expectations change shortly after, which creates confusion. At times, upper leadership communicates in a way that feels more like talking at employees rather than engaging with them, and concerns raised by staff can be overshadowed by comments about leadership bonuses or priorities that don’t align with what employees are asking for.
