      Pros

      Communication seems to be the highlight of this experience. Management at all levels seems afraid to commit to new ideas at any level due to cost and personnel cutting. Everyone seems to be just hanging on as long as they can.

      Cons

      Career opportunities are limited as this company has downsized over 20% in past year. Everyone seems to feel that they are on thin ice and afraid to make decisions. Many of the top people have no field experience with the company and it shows. Many have come from the outside.

      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.
