Pros

Private company. They can make decisions not based on shareholders. They are still hiring in a down market and not laying off employees. They hold true to their core beliefs. They have exceptional training and spend a lot on new employees to give them every opportunity to be successful. We are on the best companies to work for in fortune magazine.

Cons

Working on commission can be mentally draining. There is an "in crowd" in the region that makes all the decisions. Luckily you work for yourself so it's not a big deal if you are not "in it". Very hard to get started...a lot of work.

Pros

- Decent benefits programs. - Teammates who cared about the quality of work they provided and the people they worked with. - Direct superiors who were people of integrity that I respect immensely and wish nothing but the best for.

Cons

- Recent removal of remote work for all associates regardless of how long they had worked remotely previously (13 years in my case). This push to onsite work will damage long term profitability and likely cause a mass exodus of talented associates (if it has not already). - Massive amount of offshore outsourcing that has greatly reduced the quality of work at the home office. - Lack of flexibility regarding work schedules that has severely damaged work-life balance.
