Pros

worker bee's and main work force very nice

Cons

CEO is a bully....he screwed up at Ebay and now is running Block into the ground. if you mess up...hey, just downsize several hundred of your best/highest paid associates and then your stock will rebound because you made "tough decisions" YAH RIGHT stock market pandering is no way to run a company, super short sighted.

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Cons

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
