Pros

-Unlimited Vitamin Water, Mountain Dew and LaCroix -Fun atmosphere -Potential to make a good amount of money -Flexible vacation and time off policy -You MAY have an opportunity to be a Groupon hand model for Groupon Goods watches. Woo.

Cons

-Changes happen faster than a 1 year old's diaper -Your manager may have less experience, or no management experience at all. Many were promoted on the sheer fact that they exceeded goals in sales and wanted to be a manager -No resolution to any sort of issues you bring up...even after being persistent -Unrealistic sales goals and a commission structure that doesn't make any sense for reps that have been there for years, and have the most experience and strongest connections. -Lack of compassion or recognition to hard working and long term employees
