Pros

The company prides itself on the culture and puts a lot into their employees to see them be successful. You are given a lot of responsibility right away and they expect you to step up and be a leader within your market. You are able to make a good sum of money with commission. Ability to move up and be promoted fairly quickly as the company is organically grown. Our new President has a great vision for the company and strategies to make it a reality.

Cons

The industry is really tough. High competition and you are selling a service where people have minds of their own. Can perform well and do everything "right" on your end, but still not see the results. The company helps you to do everything in your power to avoid those tough situations, but many are seemingly unavoidable. At first, the base salary is pretty low, but once you start to do well, commission makes up for it.

Pros

This company relies on growth from within, so if they see potential in you, they will help you get to that next level. There is always a huge support system around you at all times.

Cons

The amount of support can quickly turn into micromanaging, and promoting from within is great until you start protecting those who earned their title sheerly through tenure or a 'good ol' boy' system. Also, the pay is abysmal. They pay you the absolute minimum in salary and the rest is based off of commission, so even the best reps can lose everything on a clients whim, going from making almost $200K a year to $30K in the blink of an eye. They say they have protections in place for that but that's only for the people who earn the company millions of dollars for 4 consecutive years. Also, there really is no such time as a work/life balance here. They throw parties to make you think you do, but if you are out on PTO you will still be judged by your KPI's while you were out, and they expect you to pick up the phone, regardless of if you are on vacation or at your grandfathers funeral. "Still gotta keep you numbers up!"
