Pros

Relaxed dress code Good place for someone just starting out in their career to get something on their resume.

Cons

Employees are second class citizens. Stock holders are higher on the importance scale. Personal feelings from management play a bigger role when it comes to promotion than skill. Culture created by Upper Management is one of exclusivity in the "drink the Kool Aid club". I have witnessed values and integrity from the Vice President level get put on the back burner in order to meet unrealistic budgetary goals. Compensation packages are well below geographic levels.

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.
