Pros

Their are many different aspects of the business so there are some opportunities to move around in different positions. Fairly casual and relaxed atmosphere day-to-day.

Cons

Though there are many different positions, the majority of them do not pay that well. The pay keeps going lower for employees and the benefits keep rising year after year. Turnover is very high and there is no sense of urgency to keep employees. It seems as if employees are chair fillers and if you go someone else will fill the chair tomorrow.

Pros

Pay is decent for those of us who have built a large enough customer base over the years.

Cons

Commission rate cuts the last five consecutive years. No path for advancement. Poor management. Since 2021, every change they have made that I have seen is designed to keep the stock price as high as possible - which has been stagnant for 10+ years. Customers and employees come last.
