Pros

- Unlimited vacation (may soon be changing) - Young atmosphere - Increasing sales tools available

Cons

- Constantly changing goals and initiatives - Poor morale and increased micromanagement - Each market is run like a different company with different expectations - Management is in positions based on seniority and when they joined the company rather than qualifications.

Not many cons. People are really cool.
