Pros

Very systematic Decent schedule Room to grow Constant training Managers stand up for their employees Can move to pretty much anywhere in the country

Cons

Terrible pay plan for the industry. Bring back the old pay plan or something a salesperson can actually live off of. Especially to compensate for the cost of living in Southern California! Takes forever to accumulate pto. Gives 1 week for the first year where most places give 2 weeks. Don't be so cheap! We make you tons of money!
