Pros

They have a pretty good training programbut once that is over you have to bend over backwards for very little recognition. The pay starts off well but unless you get comission and are an awesome sales person the pay seriously flatlines.

Cons

Work to live ratio is a joke 10-11 hours is a MINIMUM day. I work 12 to 14 for nearly a year during my 5 year tenure. My family life was a joke, with the commute I left before my wife woke up and got home betweent 7 and 8 pm. Finally had to leave.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
