Pros

The C suite is amazing in their resolve and support for the executive teams. They allow for full autonomy at a local level. The C suite is no BS and is decisive in their guidance. Most divisions visited had a different culture to our division locally after leadership changes.

Cons

This is both good and bad, as local leadership was outstanding and a reason for joining until leadership changes took place. An internal move up ended up running our division leading to a strained culture, lack of direction, and worst of all racially driven comments and bias at a local level. Most challenges that were attempted to be overcome were decisions made in the new Division President's previous role, leading to defensiveness versus a plan of action. There were promotions made based on relationships and firings done based on personal, political, and individual interests. I resigned but was asked to stay and promised change only to be let down weeks later. I believe some decisions are ego driven and hurt the company bottom line for personal gains and relationships.

Pros

Earning potential was great, benefits were decent.

Cons

An incredibly toxic work environment defined by micromanagement, constantly shifting and unrealistic sales goals, and a leadership team that often operated more like enforcers than mentors. Targets were routinely increased at the end of each quarter, effectively stripping salespeople of earned bonuses and eroding trust. The culture leaned heavily on intimidation and public pressure. Sales meetings often felt more like performance critiques than coaching, and required role-playing exercises were frequently uncomfortable and unnecessary. There was a consistent pattern of favoritism, where poor behavior was overlooked for some while others were held to entirely different standards. Management’s approach to motivation relied too heavily on guilt and financial pressure, with paid time off subtly discouraged and income used as leverage rather than support. Collaboration was undermined by leadership creating internal competition in ways that felt divisive rather than productive. There were also multiple instances of inappropriate and racially insensitive remarks made in group settings, which further contributed to an unprofessional and uncomfortable environment. Overall, while the role had potential, the culture and leadership practices made it difficult to succeed or feel respected.
